While iconic spots like Chapora Fort and Vagator are famous, a truly breathtaking Goan sunset is best experienced away from the crowds. For those seeking tranquillity and a unique view as the sky explodes in colour, these five lesser-known locations are a must-visit.
Badem Hill offers a 180-degree panoramic view that few tourists know about. Instead of seeing the sun dip right into the sea, you get a unique perspective of the sun setting over the distant ocean, with the Chapora River and the green Goan hinterland framing the scene.
A short trek along the cliff from the Sinquerim Fort walls leads you to a lesser-known vantage point. Perched high on the clifftop, this 'secret spot' offers a stunning, uninterrupted view of the Arabian Sea and the entire coastline stretching toward Candolim, creating a dramatic and isolated sunset experience.
Kakolem is a tiny, secluded cove nestled between rocky cliffs in South Goa. It is only accessible by a small, unmarked path or a boat, which keeps the crowds away. The sunset here is spectacular, enjoyed with the unique backdrop of a small freshwater stream cascading directly onto the beach, a true hidden paradise.

Located on a hill in Old Goa, the chapel provides a breathtaking, elevated view of the Mandovi River, the green islands, and the ancient churches below. As the sun sets, the golden light paints the river and the historic ruins, offering a deeply tranquil and picturesque view.
This small, semi-circular cove near Palolem can only be reached by a boat ride or a challenging forest trek. The effort is rewarded with a completely secluded sunset. The beach is named for its shape and the presence of colourful butterflies, making the golden hour here an intimate and magical natural spectacle.
