I live in a beautiful paradise situated on the south-western part of India, Goa. It is a state blessed with spectacular beaches, waterfalls, dense forest, and many beautiful undiscovered places. As the introduction about myself says I’m an adventurous person, and hungry to discover new places. This time, I chose to discover an unknown beach in the wonderful village of canacona and planned to camp on a beach side!

Trekking down the mountain, reaching to sea sand, and watching that majestic sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moon-set was one of the most magnificent experiences I have ever had.

Oh well, camping at the beach sounds super fun and exciting, but would you like to camp on a wild beach where one can find wild animals? Wouldn’t you be scared? Considering there’s no one around you?

Splendid! It was a full moon night when I along with my brother and two of his friends planned to camp at this admirable, undiscovered beach (kind of an island). Having those goosebumps while trekking down the rocks, we finally reached our destination and started exploring the other parts of the land. We realise that time just passed by as we were connecting ourselves with the elements around us, I mean , the harsh waves certainly gave us a different rhythm to our souls, the vibes, there was pleasant, cool and calm, the sunset illuminated us with it’s different shades of orange, red and pink color.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE
YOU GO CAMPING AT A WILD-BEACH!

1) Carry limited stuff
While camping at the beach you should carry whatever is required, carrying anything extra will leave you with a burden because you wouldn’t be able to hike/ Trek properly, also there are chances that you may slide down at any moment because of imbalance of your body and the luggage weight.

2) Carry tent which is green or brown is color
If you prefer going for camping in a wild, Green or brown color tent is highly preferable/ recommended. The reason being is because, since it’s a wild area there can be high chances that there will be wild animals, therefore, to protect yourself from any danger you are advisable to get the green/brown tents so it can camouflage with the environment around you.

3) Pitch your tent near the trees or near the rocks
Having a dreamlike stay near the beach-side is every adventurous person’s wish, perhaps you should also keep in mind about your safety. Pitching a tent near the edge of the sand and the rocks is safe. You’ll be safe from wild- animals.

4) Carry essentials camping tools
Essentials camping tools- torch, compass, maps, pocket knife, first-aid box, headlamp are must to have with you when you’re in the wild-camping. Even though you have your smartphone with you it will not guarantee you that it will last for long, that’s the reason maps and compass could be a great help, if you ever get lost in the middle out of nowhere.

5) Limit your crowd
It’s advisable to go with the smaller group of friends than go with a larger group of friends. Going with many people will make the place noisy and will create disturbance for other living organisms/ animals around that environment.
