Recently I shared about Bay15 in Goa which is located on Odxel Beach only and after that block some of the Travellingcamera friends asked about this beach as many didn't know about it. So we thought that probably we should try to share more on the basis of my knowledge and some research based information about this beach near Dona Paula area of Goa.

Odxel beach is approx 10 km from Panjim Kadamba Bus Stand. It's not really a sandy beach and have rocks, so one can't imagine to walk bare feet or swim around this beach. The shoreline at Odxel Beach offers a tranquil place. When we were there, we witnessed a beautiful sunset here.
The Odxel Beach is a very small sea beach approximately 250 meters in length but is very pleasant and quite. Odxel is located between Dona Paula and Bambolim just before the Goa University. This beach is a favourite picnic spot of the local people.

There is a Portuguese Catholic church situated around Odxel beach in Goa and many of these churches have unique style/colours. It can be a perfect place where one can indulge in self-analysis due to the picturesque offerings accompanied by a chapel right next to the beach and is one of the most attractive places to see in Panjim.

The Odxel Beach is a small beach with relaxing and positive surroundings. Lying at the center of Dona Paula and Bambolim this beach is a frequent spot by the tourists. Though it is not a good option to swim as there have been instances of underwater currents but it has a peaceful environment.
