Latest reviews on Goa's beaches

Bogmalo Beach
10 Nirali Patel

Visiting Goa is a truly tranquil experience, and this beach is no exception. The scenery is stunning and the area is well-kept. The staff are also excellent. It's conveniently located near the airport and railway station, and is a great spot for events. Plus, you can enjoy a variety of water sports without any hassle.

Ozran Beach
10 Kiran Verma

This beach is absolutely stunning. I enjoyed the fact that it is not overcrowded, making it a perfect place to visit with your family, friends, or partner. It offers an amazing experience compared to other beaches. Personally, I was particularly fond of the peaceful scenery here.

Kalacha Beach
8 Rahul Desai.

The beach is situated in a beautiful location, offering a picturesque view of the surroundings. However, it is important to note that the lake does not contain fresh water, despite its name suggesting otherwise.

Majorda Beach
10 RAVIKANTH JOSHI

The Majorca Beach is undoubtedly one of the most stunning beaches located near Vasco. It boasts numerous attractions that will surely make you fall in love with it. The soft yellow sand, the swaying coconut trees in the gentle wind, and the sea breeze gently brushing against your skin are just some of the things one can enjoy here. It's the perfect time to visit this place, which is in the midst of October to end of April. You might even come across starfishes in the sand, adding to the magical experience.

Betalbatim Beach
10 Rishabh Kulkarni.

The natural sea beach is exceptional, boasting a pristine and tranquil environment that is perfect for those seeking a serene escape. The beach is remarkably clean and peaceful, providing an ideal setting for families to engage in fun activities with their children. As the sun sets, the beauty of the beach is truly awe-inspiring, and it is a sight that you will undoubtedly cherish forever. Furthermore, the beach is relatively uncrowded, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a calm and peaceful retreat. If you are planning a family vacation, the beach's surrounding resorts are excellent options for accommodations.

Sernabatim Beach
10 Rohan Patel

This is by far the most serene beach I've been to in Goa so far. It's located near Colva beach and definitely worth a visit. I could easily spend an entire day here and appreciate the fact that it's not overcrowded and well-maintained. It's a must-see.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 29 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is April - air temperature during this time warms up to 30.9°C and water up to 30.5°C in May. The coldest month is August - air temperature drops to 27.5°C and water to 28.2°C. Air and water temperature allows you to relax comfortably in the region all year round, which is enjoyed by tourists and locals.
