Towards the north along the waters lies a natural marvel called the Butterfly Island. The distance from the main land is not more than 200 m and a short boat ride is good enough to reach the island. The isolation acts a blessing in disguise as the island offers a secluded beach to the visitors all with its solitary charm and the thrills of any other Goan beach sans the overcrowded and over polluted stretches of sand. The dolphins are extra acrobatic in the waters surrounding the island. Low tides would create a vast canvas on the beach which is painted by the designer footsteps of crabs and goldfishes. Canoe ride along the tiny water streams on the island provide a thrilling ride.
How to reach
On the road between Agonda and Palolem, near a small drink stall, look for a sign pointing to Butterfly Beach. A narrow path leads over a headland to this tiny secluded beach, accessible only by boat or this path. It's a stiff one hour walk with steep ascent then decent to the beach, so allow plenty of time to get there and back. You can catch a boat from Palolem so you are not alone.
