How to spend a day at Benaulim Beach
- Early morning: book a dolphin-watching trip directly with a boatman on the sand; agree the price first.
- Morning: have breakfast at a family-run shack rather than a resort restaurant.
- Midday: swim or relax — the water here is generally calm and shallow near shore.
- Afternoon: walk into the village — Benaulim's older lanes and church are close by.
- Evening: wind down quietly — gentler than the busier South Goa beaches.
What to carry
- Cash for the boat operator
