Have you also been to Goa multiple times? Every time it's the same places — Baga Beach, Calangute Beach, Panjim/Miramar Beach, Dudhsagar Falls, Se Cathedral, and a few more famous spots. Everyone visits the popular places anyway. So today I'm bringing you some really good hidden gems in Goa that you should definitely explore at least once.
Best 5 Hidden Gems in Goa
1. Cola Beach – This is an exceptional freshwater lagoon, surrounded by a sand strip and offering you to take a swim either in the lagoon waters or in the ocean waters right next to it. Located in a tropical jungle environment and surrounded by coconut trees, Cola is one of the most interesting coastal destinations of the state.
2. Butterfly Beach – This remote and tranquil beach of South Goa can be reached by a small walk or by boat ride only. Its name comes from the butterflies who inhabit the cliffs nearby. Butterfly Beach is ideal for those travelers who want to spend some time alone at the beach.
