About Talpona Beach & Sadolxem Bridge

A scenic-drive pairing: the narrow blue Sadolxem bridge — one vehicle at a time — over the Talpona river, then quiet Talpona beach with a handful of shacks and a local, unhurried feel. The drive itself, through paddy fields and villages, is half the experience.

Quite simply, the prettiest short drive in Canacona.
