Goa Beach & Relaxation

Who it suits

Couples, families and friends who want time on the beach with a little culture, and travellers recovering from a busy schedule who prefer to choose their own pace.

Fitness and health notes

Almost all of the plan is low effort. Beaches mean walking on sand, and some resorts have steps. During the monsoon (roughly June to September) the sea is rough, swimming flags are red and many beach shacks close; the driest months are about November to March.

Accessibility

Many resorts have ramps and ground-floor rooms; beaches are mostly not wheelchair-friendly. Ask for an accessible room and a vehicle with space for a folded chair.
