Start the trip with a visit to the Fort Aguada, a well-preserved 17th-century Portuguese fort that offers stunning views of the Arabian Sea. Take a leisurely stroll around the fort with your family and check out the lighthouse. Do not forget your camera to capture this beautiful memory.
Start your day with the sun, sand, and surf at the popular Baga Beach. The beach is perfect for families as it has shallow waters that are safe for kids to swim. Parents can relax on a sunbed while keeping an eye on their children. Do not forget to indulge in some Goan street food at one of the beach shacks.
Wrap up your trip by visiting two of Goa's most popular landmarks – the Basilica of Bom Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Se Cathedral, the largest church in Asia. Both the churches are known for their beautiful architecture and hold great historical significance. The Basilica also has the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier.
If you have more time, you can explore other beaches like Anjuna Beach, Calangute Beach, or Candolim Beach. Foodies should explore the Mapusa Market, which is famous for its fresh produce and authentic Goan spices.
Those with less time can skip Baga Beach and instead visit the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, located near Fort Aguada. Families travelling with young children may consider an evening boat ride at the Mandovi River.
