2) Palolem and Agonda Beach — The Best of South Goa
South Goa is completely different from North Goa. It is quieter, cleaner, and more peaceful.
Palolem Beach is shaped like a crescent and is absolutely beautiful. The water is calm, making it safe for swimming and kayaking.
Agonda Beach is even quieter — it is a favourite among yoga lovers and people who want to relax.
Between November and February, you can even spot olive ridley turtles nesting on Agonda’s shore.
Best for: Honeymooners, solo travellers, families with kids, and people who want peace and quiet.

Both churches are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Best for: History lovers, culture seekers, and photography enthusiasts.
4) Dudhsagar Waterfalls — Goa’s Hidden Natural Wonder
Dudhsagar means Sea of Milk.
This four-tiered waterfall is 600 metres tall and sits deep inside Mollem National Park. To reach it, you take a jeep safari through thick jungle — which is exciting in itself.
The falls are most powerful between June and December when monsoon rains fill them up.
Best for: Nature lovers, adventure seekers, and travellers visiting during monsoon season.

Best for: Party lovers, couples who enjoy a quiet evening, and music enthusiasts.
8) Spice Plantation Tour — The Side of Goa
