However, it also gives a great opportunity to go trekking through a forest! Interestingly, Butterfly Beach is so named because the surrounding trees occasionally attract a variety of butterflies. It could also be because the beach itself is shaped like a butterfly! Either way, it's just as beautiful as this one, especially during sunset.Surrounded by dense forest on one side and leading to the open sea on the other, the beach has a unique and picturesque landscape. Butterfly Beach is also one of the few places in Goa to see playful dolphins. Avoid visiting the beach during monsoon as boat rides are mostly unavailable during heavy rains.
