De-prodded with following reason: "Goa state is known for its beaches, so its important to include all beaches in wiki so that tourists can explore them." That's not a valid rationale for inclusion. There is nothing to show that this particular beach is notable, and searches did not turn up anything to alter that opinion.

Delete as I concur, and I saw this when it happened, a beach is quite rarely convincing for its own article, regardless of whether it's known or not, simply because there's nothing to suggest an independent article.

Keep – Meets
WP:GNG and
WP:GEOLAND per a review of available sources, one of the core bases of topic notability. The beach has received scholarly coverage and coverage regarding its salt water baths and as a tourist destination. Another option, and
alternative to deletion, is to merge to
Siridao, which would make the merge target article more accurate and comprehensive. See some source examples below. North America1000 19:49, 17 November 2016 (UTC)reply

The field study was further supported by laboratory experiments with commonly occurring benthic harpacticoid and turbellarian species.

Keep: named natural features are considered notable (
WP:GEOLAND).

Keep, per Northamerica1000, satisfies
WP:GEOLAND. Just to quibble a bit with the above, GEOLAND does not grant inherent notability to named natural features, it only suggests an article is appropriate for inclusion provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist (this is true for this article). It also suggests that minor features should be considered for inclusion in an article about regional geography rather than a standalone article. A merger to
Siridao would probably be the best ultimate outcome for a minor feature such as this, but that could be handled by bold editing or discussion at the article, it's not something that needs to be mandated here.
