Sadolxem Bridge - The 'Finding Fanny' Bridge in South Goa

About the Destination

Overview

The Sadolxem Bridge is a narrow, single-lane bridge that crosses the Talpona River in South Goa. Its simple yet striking design, painted a bright blue, stands out against the lush green backdrop of coconut trees and the calm river waters. What makes this bridge a point of interest is its unique construction: vehicles use the central lane, while pedestrians can cross by stepping into small, arched alcoves along the side. This functional design forces a slow, careful pace, adding to the location's unhurried feel. Visitors come here primarily for the view and the photo opportunity. The bridge gained widespread recognition after being featured in the Bollywood film "Finding Fanny," which turned it into an impromptu landmark for film enthusiasts and travelers looking for offbeat spots. The experience is about soaking in the quiet, rural Goan atmosphere, watching local life go by on scooters, and capturing the symmetry of the bridge against the river. It’s not a destination with activities but a brief, scenic stop that offers a glimpse into a side of Goa far removed from the busy beaches.
