About Butterfly Beach
A small semi-circular cove hidden between forested headlands, reached by boat from Palolem/Agonda or a forest trek with a local guide. Golden sand, clear water, dolphins often seen on the boat ride over. No shacks, no facilities — carry water and take everything back.
The classic "only by boat" hidden beach.
