Start your trip with a stress-free visit to Baga Beach. This beach is known for its nightlife and water activities such as parasailing, banana boat ride, and jet skiing. But, if you want to relax, you can sunbathe, take a walk along the shore, and enjoy the beautiful view of the Arabian Sea. There are also many shacks on the beach where you can grab a bite and have a drink.
After the beach, head to Anjuna Flea Market, which is open on Wednesdays and starts from 9 am to 6 pm. Here you can buy souvenirs, clothes, spices, and jewelry. If you're a foodie, the market has various food stalls that serve Goan and international food. You can also get a henna tattoo or have a sketch artist make a portrait of you. The market has a lively and colorful vibe, and there's something for everyone.
End your day with a delicious dinner at Thalassa Restaurant located on Ozran Beach. The restaurant has a Greek decor and serves Mediterranean food. The seafood is fresh, and the cocktails are refreshing, making it a perfect spot to end your day.
On day 2, explore South Goa, known for its secluded beaches. Start with Agonda Beach, which is less crowded and more relaxing. The beach is famous for its clear water, white sand, and dolphins. You can have a spa session or yoga class on the beach, and if you're lucky, you can catch a glimpse of turtles hatching. There are also beach shacks that serve yummy food and drinks.
After the beach, head to Cabo de Rama Fort, which is open from 9 am to 5:30 pm. The fort is located on a cliff, providing a panoramic view of the sea and the beach. The fort has a history dating back to the Ramayana and witnessed the rule of many dynasties. You can explore the fort and learn about its history. There is also a chapel inside the fort, St. Anthony's, where a feast is held in June.
End your trip with a visit to Palolem Beach, which has a crescent shape and is surrounded by palm trees. The beach is perfect for relaxation and swimming. You can also rent a kayak and explore the nearby islands or take a boat ride to see dolphins. The beach has many shops and restaurants where you can enjoy a drink or meal.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Dudhsagar Falls, which is the highest waterfall in Goa, or explore Panaji, the capital city that has Portuguese-style buildings and churches. If you have less time, you can skip the Anjuna Flea Market and the Cabo de Rama Fort. Make sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a swimsuit for the beach activities. Avoid visiting during the monsoon season as many places are closed, and the weather can be unpredictable.
