Butterfly beach

Butterfly beach is located to a little to the south of Palolem in the Cantona region of Goa. It is also known as Honeymoon Beach as it is in the form of a small cove surrounded by dense trees.

It is one of the most secluded and peaceful beaches in Goa. It can be reached via a ferry from the neighbouring Palolem Beach. Interestingly, the beach is so named as the surrounding trees attract a wide variety of butterflies occasionally. It may also be because the beach itself is in the shape of a butterfly.
