Tips

If you have an extra day, consider adding a sunrise visit to Miramar Beach and a day trip to the historic Fort Aguada for a mix of history and more coastline. Conversely, if you need to cut the trip short, focus on the two main beach sections—Calangute & Baga—while choosing just one local restaurant each day, which will still give you a satisfying taste of Goan culture.
