Stays, Shacks & Cycle Rides: All About Utorda Beach In South Goa

For the ultimate Utorda Beach experience, aim for November to March with a delightful temperature of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius and low humidity – perfect for beach activities. Monsoon, from June to September, means heavy rainfall and rough seas, ban on swimming signalled by red flags. Make sure to follow safety guidelines from authorities and lifeguards. 

Utorda Beach is a breezy 30-minute ride from Dabolim Airport (GOI) or Madgaon Railway Station in Margao.  You can either hop in a cab, go for a self-drive, or rent a scooty. Feeling adventurous on a budget? Grab a bus from the nearby stand. We'd recommend getting there in your own vehicle.

Imagine drifting into slumber with the soothing sounds of the sea or having it just a stone's throw away for your liking. Utorda Beach caters to all preferences with a diverse array of accommodations. For a touch of luxury, check in to the Kenilworth Beach Resort, Planet Hollywood Beach Resort, Royal Orchid, or ITC Grand Goa, all conveniently situated next to the beach. Budget-conscious travellers have enticing options like Dom Pedro's Guest House, Rodrigues Guest House, Babazin Inn, Four Seasons Guesthouse, The Village Inn, and Casa Ligorios Guesthouses – some just a delightful 20-minute stroll away, offering the perfect excuse to burn off those gourmet delights.

Thinking about taking a refuge from the blazing sun at lunch? You can even turn it into a sundowner right there as the beach transforms with twinkling lights from the shacks, offering a warm and inviting ambiance. All you have to do is enter a charming beach shack like Seashell Beach Shack, Zeebop by the Sea, Cajy’s, Jamming Goat, Rosary Beach Shack, Kai Silver Beach Shack or Island View by Beach Bees. These vibrant spots on the shore serve up fresh seafood, cool drinks, and delightful Goan delicacies, creating a laid-back and friendly atmosphere for locals and tourists alike. You will love indulging in a starlit seafood feast, serenaded by the soothing waves. After dark, lively beach bars and restaurants in the vicinity provide the perfect backdrop for live music, dancing, and great company.

Adventure awaits at Utorda, offering a spectrum of water sports through Jojen Adventure Water Sports. Feel the thrill of parasailing, zip across the waves on a jet ski, or hop on a banana boat for a lively ride. Dive into the underwater wonders with snorkelling or diving excursions, while the serene waters beckon for leisurely activities like swimming, kayaking, or lazing on an inflatable unicorn. For wind enthusiasts, windsurfing is on the menu, and boat trips to nearby islands promise dolphin sightings. Utorda ensures an adrenaline-packed coastal escapade for adventure seekers.

Beyond the sun-soaked beaches and lively shacks, spice up your Goa adventure with a museum visit! Head to the Goa Chitra Museum in Benaulim, a treasure trove of 40,000 artefacts spanning 1500 years, curated by one visionary. Or, for a hands-on yet meditative experience, dive into clay workshops at Carpe Diem, housed in a charming Old Goan residence, offering an art gallery, a quaint shop, and a cafe. You can even embark on a cycling escapade with B Live's e-bikes, unveiling magnificent palaces, nature reserves, disused railway tracks, and the open sea.
