What are the most beautiful secluded and hidden beaches in Goa
Secluded and hidden beaches in Goa? Goa is a top holiday destination hence there are many beaches in Goa. Whichever beach you visit, you will find a lot of crowds. There are few beaches that are or can be considered beautifully secluded and hidden beaches. And to reach on these beaches is little difficult due to the remote locations or bad complicated roads.
Therefore, the beautiful secluded and hidden beaches are few but surely they are worth visiting. Hence, to reach these secluded beaches you will have to take the help of local people on the way as you travel because you have to keep on asking them every time you feel you have lost the way.
Also, keep in mind the mobile network is very poor as you get into the remote areas, so you cannot depend on Google Map for any help.
Butterfly Beach
Butterfly Beach – well, firstly, forget about going by car because the beach is very small and you have to pass through a man-made kind of road. Therefore, there is no proper road available presently after the main highway road.
Firstly, the road is narrow and with dense sand, and it’s rocky all the way up to the beach. So, in case you wish to drive then you will have to park half the way and walk about 30 min, kind of trekking. Hence, the best way to reach this secluded or hidden beach is to ride a bike to reach it as near as possible to the beach.
Betul Beach
Betul Beach – Another beautiful secluded and hidden beach, It lies to the South of Goa, from Margao approximately 22 km. after Cavellosim, than Mobor nearby the 5-star luxury resorts Holiday Inn, Taj Hotels & Donna Sylvia.
Moreover, there are other star hotels such as Hathi Mahal, Mobor beach. More importantly, they are all located on the main road going towards Betul beach.
Now, Betul Beach is just a meter away from the MOBOR beach. Hence, in short, the location is just nearby to each other, I took the main village road and headed walking by, to the beach.
