Dona Paula Beach is located in Goa within Cacra, which makes it not only easily accessible, but even popular among tourists. However, during the high season it is quite uncrowded, which allows you to spend a comfortable time on the coast.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"On my one and only trip to this beach, I found nothing particularly noteworthy about it. The government is in the process of constructing a few shops, but otherwise the atmosphere was unremarkable. The beach was a bit overcrowded and unfortunately not very clean. However, the garden area did have some comfortable and well-placed seating arrangements."

Amardeep Kaur.

"The beach with crystal clear waters perfect for a refreshing swim. I had the pleasure of indulging in some exhilarating water sports here, which was an unforgettable experience. However, the only drawback is the lack of restroom facilities on or near the beach. Fortunately, there is a hotel in close proximity that provides direct access to this magnificent beach."
