South Goa's charm lies in the mark left behind by the Portuguese colonial era. Beautiful churches, beaches with golden sand, Portuguese architecture, and delicious local cuisine are all hallmarks of South Goa. Unlike the northern part of the state, South Goa is serene and perfect for people wishing to escape the chaos of the city and stay in tranquillity.

Apart from the peaceful masses, the premises of the church are well-maintained and beautiful, making it one of the must-visit sightseeing spots in South Goa.

Palolem Beach 


Palolem Beach is a beautiful horseshoe-shaped beach, boasting white sand and calm waters, and dotted with green palm trees. It is famous among backpackers, thanks to the shacks in the northern portion of the beach, which makes it the perfect place to unwind in a laid-back atmosphere. You could also hop on a boat and embark on a dolphin-spotting cruise from this picturesque beach in South Goa.
