South Goa is one of the most beautiful regions in India. Below is my detailed South Goa guide to help you plan the best trip to South Goa. It includes the best things to do in South Goa, where to stay in South Goa as well as a South Goa itinerary for your stay.

I have visited South Goa over 20 times. To say I love it is an understatement. I find the place charming, picturesque and quintessentially Goan in all its ways. Its charm hasn’t reduced the way North Goa’s charm has due to overtourism. And yet, there is enough touristic infrastructure to help regular tourists have the best South Goa trip. A South Goa trip should be full of visits to the spectacular beaches, old forts, wildlife sanctuaries, aesthetic cafés, delicious restaurants, serene backwaters and scenic islands.

But to get the best out of your trip to South Goa, you need to plan it well. You need to break down your stay in a workable South Goa itinerary. Read this full post for all the details that you need to perfectly plan a South Goa trip.

Top Things to Do in South Goa

South Goa itinerary and things to do in South Goa

If you don’t want to read the full article, here are my top things to do in South Goa

  • Admire the beauty of the Palolem beach
  • Absorb the scenic beauty of the secluded islands – Butterfly Island and Honeymoon Island
  • Take in the spectacular views from Cabo de Rama
  • Visit the Dudhsagar Waterfalls

These are the top things to do in South Goa, but there is far more that South Goa offers. I would be writing all about it in this post.

South Goa – Map and Location

South Goa is to the South of Goa (duh!). It shares its border with Karnataka. It is bigger than North Goa. It is diverse as it has beaches, enormous wildlife sanctuaries, waterfalls and springs. Here is a Goa map to get you oriented

1 day south goa tour

How to reach South Goa

Goa airport

The airport of Goa is located in Dabolim, Mormugao region of South Goa. It is the only airport in Goa and connects Goa to the rest of the country. That’s also why most major regions in South Goa are closer to the airport than those of North Goa.

Margaon is the major train station in South Goa.

Cancona, Vasco de Gama are also the other major train stations in Goa.

Get down at Margaon if you are staying between Majorda and Cavelossim. For Agonda and Palolem, see if you can get off at Cancona. But many trains do not halt at Cancona.

The main bus stand in South Goa is in Margaon – The Kadamba bus stand. It connects South Goa to various parts of Goa and the country. See schedule.

From here, you can take local buses to various locations in South Goa.

Where to stay in South Goa

The major areas where you will find touristic accommodation in South Goa are

  • Colva – the most popular tourist hub in South Goa. It mainly attracts Indian tourists. It is a short drive away from Margaon.
  • Benaulim – a lovely family and couple-friendly area in South Goa. It attracts both Indian and foreign tourists. It is also a short drive away from Margaon. 📍 The Azaya Beach Resort here is exquisite – the best beachside resort for families and couples with a fantastic pool for the perfect sundowner. See photos and availability
  • Palolem – a lovely town to the southern end of South Goa. It is very scenic and has lots of things to offer to tourists who love nature and beauty. It is a good base for families and couples but even more so for solo travellers who don’t mind visiting a few offbeat locations and staying at a hostel. 📍 The Lost Hostel in Palolem is the best – excellent staff, engaging on-site activities and very clean. See photos and availability

South Goa Travel Tips

Hari's German Bakery, Bakery

  • It’s best to rent a vehicle for commuting within South Goa. The public transport system in Goa is not reliable at all for those visiting Goa on a tight time schedule.
  • There are very few tourist areas in South Goa that are self-sufficient from a tourist’s point of view. Thus you won’t find a supermarket, medical store, grocery store, beauty salon, garment shop, foreign exchange store, vehicle rental or a tour operator in many South Goan areas. If quick access to these facilities is important to you – please stay in Colva, Benaulim or Palolem.
  • South Goa has no real party places and the nightclubs in South Goa are not comparable in scale to the ones in North Goa. The silent noise party at Palolem has also stopped taking place in recent years. Do not rely on other articles on the internet recommending that as a party avenue.

1 day south goa tour

  • Many tourist spots in South Goa like Cabo de Rama, Cola Beach, Butterfly Island, Mollem Wildlife Sanctuary, and Dudhsagar Waterfalls get very deserted and dark at night. Avoid staying back in these regions as far as possible.
  • Many beaches in South Goa like Agonda, Talpona and Galgibaga are turtle habitats and therefore subject to many restrictions. Respect the rules of visit at these beaches.
  • If you plan to go on a day trip to North Goa , stay in the northern regions of South Goa like Majorda, Betalbatim, Colva and Benaulim. Avoid staying at Agonda or Palolem as the distance from these regions to North Goa is approximately 2.5 hrs one way making the day trip impracticable.
  • Cabs to your accommodation would be available from the airport and Margaon train station without much difficulty. But hailing a cab from other locations is often difficult. Plan your commute whenever you visit such places.

Things to do in South Goa

I have a detailed post on the best things to do in Goa that comprehensively covers options for both North Goa and South Goa in a very structured manner. You can get more in-depth information in those posts. In this post, I will give an excellent overview of everything that could keep tourists engaged in South Goa

Visit the spectacular South Goa Beaches

1 day south goa tour

The beaches in South Goa are calm and blissful. Their natural beauty is also fairly intact as opposed to the bustling beaches of North Goa. Here are some of the beaches in South Goa that you could visit on your South Goa trip

  • Palolem beach : clean, calm, vibey. Plenty of shacks and things to do in surrounding areas. Lots of boat ride options to nearby islands as well.
  • Talpona/Galgibaga : Further south of Palolem. Known for their natural beauty and turtle nesting. Almost no shacks. Best for introverts or couples looking to escape the crowds.
  • Agonda : Next to a cliff, scenic, calm, few shacks. Beautiful backwaters. (Choose any Agonda or Palolem as both have similar offerings. But Agonda has fewer tourists)
  • Betul/Mobor/Cavelossim : Stunning whitish golden sand, flat and soft. Almost always deserted. Many luxury properties are nearby.
  • Benaulim: Benaulim is one of the most family-friendly beaches in South Goa. Quite a few shacks and accommodation options are nearby. See my article on the best things to do in Benaulim here .
  • Colva: One of the most crowded beaches of South Goa. Central, very touristy. Many properties in the nearby area. Close to Margaon.
  • Majorda/Betalbatim: Deserted and scenic. Hardly any tourists visit these beaches. Betalbatim is also known to glow on certain nights.
  • Cola Beach /Butterfly Beach /Cabo de Rama: Very remote, with improper access involving hiking, boat rides, etc. but breathtakingly beautiful

Read my full guide with practical insights on the best beaches in Goa here .

Get the best views from Cabo de Rama

View from Cabo de Rama Goa

I don’t think there is any other viewpoint in Goa that comes close to Cabo de Rama. Cabo de Rama is truly magical. The place is a flat land overlooking the South Goan coastline.

Vehicles can be taken right up to the viewpoint. But at the viewpoint itself, there isn’t much to do apart from taking in the jaw-dropping beauty of Goa.

  • Appreciate the view, click lots of pictures
  • Enjoy light snacks at a small shop near the viewpoint
  • If you’re interested and if time permits, visit the fort nearby.

Avoid staying back after sunset in this area if you’re riding alone or with your partner on a two-wheeler. The road gets pretty dark.

Try out delectable food

1 day south goa tour

You’ll find plenty of good eating places in South Goa. Here are a few must-try ones

  • Fisherman’s Wharf, Cavelossim – Authentic South Goan food served in a restaurant with the best riverside views. Yummy all the way! But I also find it too commercial now. Expect a waiting period of about 30 minutes on weekends and during peak tourist season. But the food and the views are still very impressive.
  • Mike’s place. Cavelossim : A simple tourist-friendly restaurant – excellent for a hearty breakfast or a filling lunch. On all of my visits here, the staff was very kind and there is ample seating area to accommodate enough guests.
  • Roger’s, Benaulim : One of the best seaside shacks in South Goa, excellent for candlelight dinners as well. It is right at the entrance of Benaulim Beach.
  • Goodfellas, Benaulim: The best wood-fired pizza in South Goa. I keep raving about it and ensure I visit it every time I am in Benaulim.
  • Ciarans, Palolem: The kind of food you long for at the end of the day served right by the beach. The food is far tastier than most beach shacks around.
  • Kinara, Cavelossim : Modest place serving authentic Goan food cooked with warmth. Excellent for a homely family lunch.
  • Kopi Desa , Palolem : Filmy vibe, smashing food, best for hanging out with friends. I love the place for its vibe, the posters and the kick-ass food choices.

There are many more charming places to eat in South Goa that are spread out all over. The list above is just the tip of the iceberg.

Get lost in nature

South Goa is packed with natural beauty. There are countless opportunities to admire Goa’s flora and fauna.

South Goa Tourist Attractions

A few that are a must-visit are

  • Dudhsagar waterfalls
  • Tambdi Surla temple and waterfalls + lots of surrounding beauty near Mollem
  • Cola Beach for the lagoon
  • Palolem and Agonda backwaters
  • Sal river near Cavelossim
  • Bondla Zoo + surrounding forest area (including it here since it now forms part of South Goa)
  • Kesarval springs

Engage in memorable experiences

Simply visiting beautiful locations is not enough. To enhance the quality of your experience, you should also engage in activities that feel rewarding such as

1 day south goa tour

Kayaking in South Goa is one of the most pleasant experiences. You can book a kayak at Agonda or Palolem and go kayaking in the sea or even in the river near Cavelossim. The river kayaking presents many bird-watching opportunities as well. You can book a tour in advance to avoid disappointment. ( See photos, details and availability here )

  • Eagle-feeding

This unique experience is offered in the Palolem backwaters. Head early morning for the best experience.

  • Island hopping

There are a few islands off the coasts of Agonda and Palolem that mesmerise with their heavenly charm. Visiting these islands on a single trip of a few hours is possible from either of the beaches, but you will get more options from Palolem Beach.

  • Heritage tour

If you want to visit some of the finest examples of local Portuguese structures, you must take this South Goa heritage tour that takes you to the Figueiredo Mansion, Menezes Braganza House and other heritage gems of South Goa. ( See the tour details and availability here )

If you want to skip the tour, you can also plan a quick stop at these places.

The many waterfalls in South Goa are also ideal trekking trails for those who enjoy trekking. You could go on a Dudhsagar trek, Tambdi Surla trek, and Netravali trek while in Goa.

It is best to hike in the late monsoon season when the rains subside but the greenery remains.

South Goa Itineraries

In this section, I will draw out quick itineraries that you can easily follow on your trip to South Goa. If the things to do in South Goa listed in this itinerary don’t match your travel taste, you’re free to make changes to it and pick another place from the list of places to visit in South Goa mentioned above.

1 day south goa tour

Plan to stay at Benaulim ( see best-rated accommodations in Benaulim here – as stated earlier I love Azaya Beach Resort )

Day 1: Benaulim

If you have 3 days in Goa, it’s best to completely explore the magic in Benaulim for a full day.

Start with a breakfast at the German bakery , followed by lots of beach time. At the beach, you can have lunch at Roger’s or try out the delicious seafood at Johncy . Watch the sunset from the Southern Deck or have dinner at the best wood-fired pizza in town at Goodfellas .

Basically, spend a day chilling in the typical Goan susegaad (local word for laidback) style

Enroute make the following stops –

Once you’re back, have a hearty meal at 📍 Ciarans .

For sunset, visit Cabo de Rama and after that, come back to Benaulim for dinner.

Visit Dudhsagar falls and spice plantation. It’s a full day tour with lunch included at the Spice Plantation.

Finish these off in the first half of the day.

  • For the second half, visit the Big Foot at Loutulim – a beautiful museum depicting the lifestyle of local Goans.

5 days in South Goa Itinerary

Big Foot Goa

If you can visit South Goa for 5 or more days, your experience is going to be far richer than typical tourists spending a couple of days in South Goa. You will be able to relax, take in the vibe of Goa, mingle with local Goans and admire the beauty of South Goa in an unrushed manner.

So here’s what I think you should do – follow the 4 day itinerary as above. And you can spend your last day in Goa doing one of the options given below

One day in Goa itinerary – Top things to do in Goa, India

Often called the “tourist paradise of India” or the “Pearl of the Orient”, Goa is undoubtedly a must-visit place in India. Given that it has sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and crispy prawns you can get by the beach, there can be no doubt – Goa is an absolute delight! Goa is a coastal region located towards the western part of India and bounded by the Arabian Sea on one side and land on the others. Although this is the smallest region in the country, it has the largest number of beaches spread across an area of 3,702 km square. With more than 50 beaches in the region, Goa witnessed a footfall of 633,100 tourists in 2017! Quite a big number for such a small place. But that’s the beauty of it: it never gets cramped here!

What’s the best time to visit Goa

Goa’s weather is mercurial!

The period from March to June is the scorching hot summer season during which the temperature can reach as much as 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) with a skyrocketing level of humidity. On the other hand, the sea is calm and tepid with warm and breezy evenings. So, if you don’t mind some tan lines on your body, you might consider visiting Goa in summer. The Monsoon season lasts from June to September and is marked by the onset of heavy rainfall and a drastic drop in temperature. It is not advisable to visit the place during this season as you might not be able to experience everything it has to offer due to unpredictable weather conditions. However, if you are a venturesome person and would love to get yourself drenched in rain and strangled in mud, then you should try risking your Diwali holidays on it.

Baga Beach

The winter season is indeed the best time to pull off your Goa trip since this is a winsome time for pretty much all tourists. The place is all shiny and lively during this season and very much available for water sports. Winter in Goa is the perfect time to make the most out of your trip. Festivals, parades, parties and an enthralling nightlife are just some of the brownie points of visiting Goa in this time of year.

A few facts about Goa

  • The city has more than 7000 bars licensed to serve alcohol. So, if you wanna grab some booze, you’ll never have to worry about where to go!
  • The fusion of Indo-European culture is exclusive to this place. A treat for all you wanderlusters out there.
  • The place is not only about beaches and parties – it has some very exotic wildlife and birdlife with more than 245 species of birds and 40+ varieties of other animals and reptiles.
  • A native Goan has the perk of having a dual passport, Indian and Portuguese! Isn’t that really fancy?
  • The largest church in Asia is situated in Old Goa, which makes this a historically important place as well.

One day in Goa Itinerary

Goa has a myriad of tourist attractions, and 24 hours are way too little time to cover all of them. Follow this guide and make the most of your trip even if you’re short on time. These are the top sights and things to do during your one day in Goa.

Rent a motorbike right in the morning

Start your day in Goa by renting a motorbike . In case you want a good bike, expect to pay around Rs. 400-500 for a day’s rental. If you’re fine with renting a scooter, it will cost you Rs. 300 or less. After you find yourself a bike, start your journey from Vasco to Panjim (also known as Panaji) via NH17/NH17B.

Road Intersection

Visit the Sao Jacinto island

Only a short ride from Vasco is Sao Jacinto Island , the first stop on your way to Panjim. This small island with an abandoned Old Portuguese lighthouse on the cliff is a calm and relaxing place and a must-visit site. The island is connected to the mainland via the Silver Gate Bridge, so you can easily reach it on your bike, but it’s recommended to dismount the bike and take a short walk around the island. Don’t skip on checking out the charming St. Hyacinthi Church.

St. Hyacinthi Church

Spend some time in Panjim

Panjim is the capital city of Goa; if your taste buds are not fond of seafood, then this is the place for you. You will be able to find numerous multi-cuisine restaurants in this city.

There’s not much to explore in Panjim, but surely you can spend 10-20 min at the church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in the middle of Panjim city. It is a Portuguese Baroque style church, first built in 1541 during the colonial rule of the Portuguese in Goa.

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception

Get back on the bike again, cross the Ponte Conde de Linhares and within 10 minutes you’ll reach Velha Goa (Old Goa), a historical city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Popular sights here include Basilica of Bom Jesus, Church of St. Francis of Assisi and the Se Cathedral . Be sure to pay a visit to the latter and admire the great architecture and cultural heritage. Afterwards, go to the Basilica of Bom Jesus and visit the body of St. Francis Xavier and brush up on your knowledge of Portuguese history and the origins of Christianity.

Baga Beach

After satisfying your taste buds, it’s time for an adrenaline rush. Roll up your sleeves and live the experience of water sporting .

Evening in Goa

In order to calm that adrenaline rush down, drive yourself all the way to the famed Chapora Fort and enjoy the serenity of the place with a perfect view of the sunset.

This church was abandoned in 1835 after the Portuguese government of Goa began evicting many religious orders in Goa under its new repressive policies. The subsequent neglect caused the vault of the church to collapse in 1842. The body collapsed soon after and by 1871, the bell was moved from the tower to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church in Panjim, where it remains to date. The ruins were featured in the song Gumnaam Hai Koi from the 1965 suspense thriller movie Gumnaam and 'Saathiya' from the Bollywood hit Singham.

  • DebWarriorPrincess 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles North Goa Where to start. As we got on the bus the tour guide said that he would speak first in Hindi then in English. We were the only Westerners on the trip and he had talked to us in good English. From the moment the bus started moving he totally ignored us , only telling us what time we were to return promptly to the bus. He told us the entry to the fort was 100 rupees only to find to was 300. As we progressed he chatted away in Hindi with an occasional English word thrown in. Eventually I put my hand up and asked why he wasn’t giving us any information to which he very patronisingly told us 3 facts about Goa and that if I listened I could gather what he was saying from the odd English word dropped into his dialogue spoken in Hindi . He later walked down the bus to us, muttered something about an ice park and walked off. Trying to get his attention, he ignored me until another passenger told him to answer me. When we asked him to stop the bus as we could stand no more, he just opened the door without a word and let us off. I have travelled extensively in India and have never come across anyone as rude and ill mannered as this guide was today. An early trip this week was to South Goa, again with an Indian guide who was the exact opposite, helpful and informative. Read more Written 15 November 2023
  • Ravi S 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Beautiful view of doodhsagar falls by train We took a day train from Madgaon Station in the fourth week of August 2023. For getting the best view you either you need to see from General or sleeper window or door. In case of travel by AC class you need to be at the door. Please ensure your safety while standing at the door. Doodhsagar falls comes after Kulem station. After Kulem, there will be 3 small tunnels and falls will be visible after crossing these tunnels. Falls are visible from both sides. First be on the left side (in the direction of moving train from Kulem towards Castle rock) at the door/ window and the falls will be visible from a longer distance. After this shift to the right side door/ window and falls will be visible from very near. Both views are quite beautiful. You can take pictures and videos, but I suggest you enjoy the beauty with your own eyes rather than spending time on photography. You can always get nice photos and videos from internet. You are lucky if the train is moving slow, but if it moves fast you will be able to see it only for 20-30 seconds. In case, you want to return back to Goa, you can get down at next station Castle Rock and either take another return train or a taxi. As there was no return train available, we preferred to come back to Madgaon by taxi. Luckily we got a taxi operator Mr. Jaisheelan (+918762941167) and he dropped us back.
