Around 19 kilometres and a 30 minute drive away from the airport is Majorda Beach. This is one of the best beaches in South Goa if you aren't ready for a rustic, secluded beach experience but want white sands anyway. With enough resorts to pick from (hey, Alila Diwa) and gorgeous homestays (hello, Vivenda Dos Palhacos), you can easily spend a couple of days here with bae/fam. Water sports abound with banana rides and dolphin spotting and shacks line the beach to ensure there's never a dull moment. We also suggest grabbing a nice Italian dinner at Salute nearby and lunch at the ever-so-loved Zeebop By The Sea.
P.S. One evening, if you have the time, hit up this local bakery for fresh poi and pick up a Feni to get a taste of real Goa.
