Betalbatim Beach (South Goa)

Betalbatim in Goa is considered to create a magical effect at night because of the bioluminescent phenomenon that makes the shoreline glow with a soft blue light. It’s a rare sight but when it happens, it leaves the onlookers amazed! Unlike most beaches in Goa that are lined with palm trees, this beach is lined with pine trees. Here, one can enjoy beautiful sunsets and go for dolphin spotting through boat rides.

One of the quietest and most unexplored beaches in Goa, Butterfly Beach is perfect for someone who is seeking peace and “me-time.” This beach is in the shape of a butterfly and is covered with dense trees all around it.
