The famed Agonda coast has come alive as several visitors have arrived to enjoy the weekend in the village.

Domestic tourists have been noticeable on weekends, with many private vehicles reaching on these beaches.

About a dozen tourism structures have opened up for seasonal trade at Agonda since October 1 and are doing steady business with domestic tourists.

They are the only foreign tourists visiting the beaches at Agonda and Palolem, as many tourism stakeholders eagerly await the arrival of international tourists to Goa.
