Quite beach side with corals and big stones. Very natural and picturesque, however, there are group of local youngsters who were drinking, chilling and minding there own business. So, Might be little creepy and unsettling for Females, as these guys tends to stare.

Betul Fort is a small historical site — not a lot to explore inside, but the views are absolutely stunning, especially around sunrise or early morning. It’s quiet, serene, and ideal for a short walk.

There’s a lovely Neemrana-managed resort nearby, making it convenient to stay close and enjoy the area at a relaxed pace. Worth a visit if you're in South Goa and looking for something peaceful and off the typical tourist trail.
