• Butterfly Beach

Among some of the exceptional beaches is the Butterfly beach which prides itself in being one of the most photogenic beaches along the whole of Arabian Sea coastline and seems like a place right out of the fairy tales. Lying 37 km away from Margao, northwards of the Palolem beach, this place enjoys a certain degree of seclusion owing to the fact that there is no way to reach the beach by road. One way to reach there is by tracking for around 3km up and down or you can reach through the water by boat services from Palolem or Agonda beaches. It is situated on Butterfly Island and is a great place to relax without any disturbance. Its breathtaking view will never make you leave that place, you would want more of it.

• Cola Beach

Cola beach is a hidden delight for anyone who wants to spend time away from the crowded city. Cola beach is another marvel of South Goa, 32 kilometres from Margao close to Agonda and Palolem beach. It’s a quiet place tucked away from the crowded and noisy suburbs of the town. Lovely coconut trees, beach huts, tents and tranquil surroundings make it the perfect place to escape and relax. Because of being hidden by thick overgrowth around the beach, this place has a mysterious ring to it making it all the more alluring. What makes this place even more special is that it has a beautiful freshwater lagoon just a couple hundred meters from the sea, surrounded with coconut trees.
