Butterfly Beach
The Butterfly Beach, located between two hills, is one of the best beaches to visit in India. This exotic and beautiful beach is still intact from the crowd and commercialization mainly because of its location. It is located in the extreme end of the south near Palolem Beach. As it’s not very famous among tourists, you can spend a good time with your lover under the peaceful sun and crystal water. The best things to do here are dolphin watching, watching the sunset with your lover, romantic strolls, and kayaking. And the best part is that you will have to trek through the dense forest from Palolem to get there. Which is again an exotic experience!!

What is the Best Time to Visit Goa?
From November to February, you will find the beaches shining under a clear blue sky; it’s an ideal time to visit Goa. The temperature during this time ranges between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, and it is also Goa’s peak tourist season. If you enjoy going to the beach during the rains, the monsoon season lasts from June to September. Summer is not the best season to visit Goa. From March to May, the weather is extremely hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius.
We took this trip after the Pandemic lift up. It was impressive how people were very cautious and careful in their hospitality mainly in hotels. These are some of the best tourist attractions in Goa to visit with your loved one. However, it is critical to book hotels online prior to departure. Rent a lenient and flexible travel guide who can make sure that you are not leaving any must-visit destinations with your lover. The trip was exhilarating for us and we wish you good luck on your trip too!
