Relax on the sand, try local seafood shacks, and scout camper-friendly spots — many beaches permit casual overnight stays in private campsites (check local rules).
Choose a lively beachside taverna for Goan/Greek flavors (Thalassa) or traditional Goan seafood (Souza Lobo); most open until late, good for first-night celebration.
