User reviews

"Located at the southern tip of Goa, this beach is a serene oasis that boasts of minimal crowds even during peak travel season, such as New Year. Known colloquially as the Turtle Beach, it offers visitors the opportunity to unwind and rejuvenate amidst the tranquil surroundings. One can indulge in the local Konkani cuisine and soak in the natural beauty of the area."
