Goa is a paradise for travelers and is the most preferred tourist destination in India. It is popular for its spectacular beaches, churches, food and of course alcohol.

The beautiful gem has a vibration of serenity and ecstasy attached to it.

The turquoise water beach is surrounded by high rocks and the golden sand touching your feet will give you immense pleasure. The pleasant piece of shore has millions of butterflies hovering all around the place. The cape also bears a resemblance to the shape of the wing of a butterfly. This is the reason from where it got its name from. When the water is low, the sand vale becomes widespread and you can witness the traces of crabs and goldfishes. And if it is your lucky day, you will come across dolphins dancing here and there.

Butterfly beach is also edged by thick forests and candy to staunch every nature lover. The place is also miles away from the party noise and the perfect place if you are looking for some “Personal time”.
