Travel tips for Goa
Rent a scooter — it's the best way to explore beaches and villages at your own pace.
South Goa beaches (Palolem, Agonda, Patnem) are quieter and cleaner than North Goa.
Try local Goan fish curry, vindaloo, and bebinca dessert at village restaurants for authentic flavors.
Book accommodation well in advance for December–January (peak season prices triple).
Avoid Goa during June–September monsoon unless you enjoy lush rain scenery without beach access.
