Not a hidden Gem, but DEFINITELY a Gem

The itinerary and suggestions of places to visit in Goa is endless. One google search gives you a never-ending list. One scroll on Instagram, and you’ll get hundreds of reels about the hidden gems in goa, the ‘you can’t miss this when in Goa’ and what not.
This blog is not about any hidden gem but a documentation of an amazing day we spent in Goa, not very Goan style.

An overview of the space and the various activities

Coba de Rama is a beach fort on a hilltop in South Goa, that offers majestic views, stunning panoramas, and an amazing environment to channel your travel enthusiasm.

The fort has a beautiful church contained in it, which is now unfortunately closed, so you can only admire it from outside.

A stepped rocky way from the fort leads you to the beach downstairs. The beach extends on the right leading to pebble beach.  This 200 m stretch is what we enjoyed the most- it’s a rocky way along the glistening ocean, amazing to walk (rather climb) on, sit and relax. The views are super pretty and unique from each point on this path. You’ll also witness thousands of living conch shells here, which was very exciting for me.

Blue Water surrounded by Greenery

The clear water, lush greenery, and very characterful terrain will surely entice your soul.

We recommend visiting the fort in the morning, it opens at 9:30 a.m., spending a few hours there and then crashing at The Cape Goa (We loved it here) for a sumptuous meal. The beach will of course be hot so this can be your calming down place after some outdoor adventure.

We also stopped at Shree Gramdev Laxminarayan Temple on our way to the fort. It was surreal and we had the place all to ourselves as no one was visiting at the time.
