Start off your family-friendly trip to Goa by basking in the sun and enjoying the waves at Calangute Beach, one of the longest beaches in north Goa. You can rent beach umbrellas, loungers, and enjoy water sports. You can also explore nearby shops, snack on street food, and take a dip in the Arabian Sea.
Spend your second day exploring the stunning Dudhsagar Falls, one of the most majestic waterfalls in India. It is located on the Mandovi River, and the sight of water cascading down four tiers from a height of 310 meters is stunning. You can take a dip in the natural pool below, hike to the top of the falls. Also, opt to ride the toy train that takes you right next to the waterfall.
Explore the impressive Fort Aguada on your final day in Goa. This majestic fort was constructed in the 17th century by the Portuguese. You will enjoy stunning views over the Arabian Sea and the Mandovi River from the fort, and you will learn about its history and significance. You can also visit the nearby lighthouse and the famous Sinquerim beach.
If you have extra time, you can explore nearby beaches such as Anjuna, Baga, and Candolim. Also, be sure to try local dishes such as fish curry, vindaloo and chouriço, which are available at most beach shacks. If you are short on time, you can skip Fort Aguada and spend more time exploring beaches.
