Very peaceful, calm beach with clean water. Visited by very less people, who mostly reside in nearby resorts or home stays. Mornings are awesome here. And late evening sunset with some food on the shacks nearby.. they just create a different vibe.
Also, go to this beach in the night in December and you will find glowing algae here.
- point
The shacks/restaurants owners do not treat Indians very well.

We chanced across Betalbatim beach on of our scooty rides along the country roads of South Goa...and I instantly fell in love with this picturesque beach. The beautiful beach - not frequented by touristy crowds - is secluded, serene and a great place to catch the sunset. You can chill here for hours, wade into the gently crashing waves or just lie back for a relaxing time.

We liked Betalbatim beach more than the Colva beach because it was less crowded, very peaceful and our kids enjoyed it a lot. There were only two shacks and we chose 'Magzika', food was very good and staff was hospitable. We highly recommend this shack for people visiting Betalbatim beach. There's no water sports option on this beach.

If you are staying in or around Colva/Belabatim, go to the Little Palm Shack which is onto the beach from Bellaza Hotel and turn right.
These guys make you feel very welcome with great food and cheap prices....

Betalbatim beach is one of the best in South Goa. It is not as crowded here as in Kolva. The coast is completely covered with soft, light-colored sand. From time to time, dolphins swim to the coastline. The beach is regularly cleaned, there is a lifeguard, as well as shacks... There is no entertainment on the beach, but there is no fuss and crowds. This oasis of harmony and peace is preferred by calm travelers.

The water and sands are pristine and not crowded. The shacks serve good food and drinks. Be it early morning walk, mid morning dip in the sea or watching the waves at sunset, this beach met all expectations., must visit if in South Goa!

The Betalbatim beach lies between two better-known beaches- Colva and Majorda. However, unlike both beaches, there aren't any major resorts or shopping centers here, and that is why the beach is nearly untouched by commercialism. The beach is one of the cleanest and least-frequented I've ever seen. We saw mostly young families enjoying themselves here, and the nearby beach shack served scrumptious snacks so one could relax on the free beach beds all day!

Easily, one of the prettiest beaches in Goa. Beautiful white sands, with picturesque scenery all around. Far, far lesser crowds as compared to the North, have resulted in the beach staying clean and pure. Must visit, if you vow to keep it clean...😊

Such a lovely way to end 2020 even with the pandemic.
Must say, Betalbatim is sooo serene and the beach is sooo damn clean and good, which is located in south goa. Sunrise and sunset was such a beautiful experience. V couldn't ask for more than this. Nature at its best. It was a family trip and my kid enjoyed playing at the beach and watching the birds on the shore. Waiting to go back and spend time with the noise of waves which is healing therapy for the us who works in IT.

One word for this beach - peace and beautiful. One must surely visit this beach if you are staying in South Goa. There are many shacks on the beach. Still it is very clean. Loved it. If you are looking some 'my time' then this is one of those beaches as it is not at all crowded yet you get enough options for food and drinks.

How to travel to Old Goa using local bus from Coconut Grove? The taxis there kind of looting people. Demanding 2500/- for 6 hours and that too the spots are decided by them. You can't tell them which locations you want to travel. Without 2 wheeler license or a car you are stranded.
Written 1 February 2017
I am sorry I dont check notifications and am seeing this query 4 months too late.
Taxis are one of the pain points of Goa and there is no solution. The unions are all powerful and law unto themselves. The only option is to hire a self drive car or 2 wheeler and have the freedom to go anywhere at your convenience.
There is movement to re-start Ola. The unions had managed to block it but i hope the re-start movement succeeds. I dont think Bus would be very efficient.

i want to know how far is betalbatin beach from coconut grove resort, and is the a village outside the resort with places to eat and shop.thanks
Written 5 September 2016
The Coconut Grove Resort is on the Betalbatim beach itself. You directly walk onto the beach from the resort.
There are a couple of shacks which offer good food and drinks at fairly reasonable prices on the beach. The village outside the resort is about 3-4 kms away, and this is like a secluded resort.

Baga beach is a beach of North Goa and as well known characters of North Goa beaches this beach is also over crowded.
Betalbatim beach is situated in South Goa and it is very calm, quiet and clean. You can enjoy wonder sea-bath here.
So according to my opinion if I am asked to answer your question, I must say that Betalbatim beach is 100% better and enjoyable beach than Baga as I dislike crowd.
