Galgibag Beach

Almost-deserted Galgibag is known locally as Turtle Beach as it's one of the last preserves of Goa’s endangered olive ridley sea turtle. It's a beautiful pine-backed stretch of deserted sands where the Galgibag River meets the sea. Undertows and currents are strong – though lifeguards are present, swimming out of your depth is risky.
