Start your relaxing vacation at one of Goa's most serene beaches. Enjoy the warm waters and white sand of Palolem Beach, surrounded by coconut palms and lush green hills. You can take a dip in the sea, look for dolphins, or sunbathe. Hire a personal beach umbrella and settle in for the day - this is a great spot for a lazy day on the beach.
Mandrem Beach is another lovely spot to relax and unwind in North Goa. It's a quiet beach with no strong currents. You can sunbathe, swim, and walk along the white sands. This peaceful beach is perfect for finding your chill and taking in the beauty of Goa's beaches. Take a yoga mat, and enjoy some early morning Yoga here.
With its golden sands and palm-fringed shore, Ashvem Beach is a lovely tranquil beach to take a long walk. You can find some fantastic restaurants and beach shacks here. Sip on a refreshing drink, listen to some music, and indulge a seafood lunch along with a mesmerizing beach view. The perfect spot to take in the ocean breeze.
Visit the historic Reis Magos Fort. It's a beautiful and quiet spot on the north bank of the Mandovi River. The fort offers some stunning views of the river. You can check out the fort's chapel, set on the edge overlooking the river, and learn more about the fort's history. There's also a peaceful garden on the fort's grounds to enjoy.
If you have more time, you can plan a day trip to Fort Aguada or a scenic walk around Divar Island. If you have less time, cut one of the beach days, or eliminate Mandrem Beach from your itinerary. Make sure to wear comfortable flip-flops or sandals, sunscreen and carry a beach tote along.
