3 Tourist Spots in South Goa That You Should Not Miss

Known as a quintessential and titillating destination for party animals, Goa is crammed with exotic pubs and happening beaches. But there is a flipside to the Goan coin. So, once you are done with all festivities, you can head towards the relatively calmer and less crowded South Goa. And while you are here, do not forget to explore these stunning spots:

Pequeno Island

Also known as the Bat Island, this is quite an underrated place to visit in South Goa but worth visiting. The Pequeno Island is located just a kilometre away from the Baina Beach in Vasco da Gama. The place boasts of a serene and tranquil aura along with numerous picturesque views, entailed with rocks and sand. If you are some seeking solitude and looking for unexploited sites while in Goa, this spot is refreshingly offbeat.

Cabo de Rama Fort

Named after Lord Rama, Cabo De Rama is a Portuguese fort perched between the two famous beaches in South Goa - Cavelossim, and Agonda. According to a belief, during Lord Rama’s 14 years of exile, He along with Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshmana resided here. Although it is now in ruins, it gives you a sneak peek into the glorious past of the fort that is bound to leave you mesmerised. Not to mention, the enthralling surroundings that enhance its beauty even more.

Se Cathedral Church

Your Goa trip is incomplete without a visit to a historic church. And when in South Goa, Se Cathedral Church should not be missed out. Also known as St. Catherine's Cathedral, this church took 80 long years to be completed. This 16th-century masterpiece is one of the largest churches in the world. So, be sure to include this spot in your Goa holiday package.

South Goa is full of places that one should explore and these are a few places that you should not miss out on.
