Spend your first day lounging on Colva Beach, one of the most popular beaches in South Goa. With its scenic white sands and clear waters, it is an ideal spot for swimming or soaking up the sun. You can also try out some water sports such as jet skiing or parasailing. As the sun sets, head over to one of the many shacks and restaurants along the beachfront for some fresh seafood and cocktails under the stars.
Take a day trip to see the natural wonder that is the Dudhsagar Falls in the Western Ghats. This multi-tiered waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and is perfect for a refreshing swim. You can also take a hike through the forest to explore the nearby wildlife and bird sanctuary. Note that the falls are closed during the monsoon season (June to September) due to heavy rainfall, so be sure to check before heading out!
On your final day, explore Goa's rich cultural heritage with a visit to the historic Aguada Fort and nearby Sinquerim Beach. The fort was built in the 17th century and has played a crucial role in defending Goa from foreign attacks. Enjoy the panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the nearby lighthouse. Afterward, head down to Sinquerim Beach, a serene beach with calm waters and golden sand. You can catch a stunning sunset before heading back to your hotel.
If you have extra time, consider exploring North Goa with a visit to Anjuna Beach or the colorful houses of Fontainhas. History buffs may also enjoy a trip to Old Goa to see the ancient churches and cathedrals. If you have less time, consider skipping Dudhsagar Falls and spending more time at Colva Beach or Old Goa. Note that August is the monsoon season, so bring appropriate rain gear and be prepared for occasional rain showers.
