Uttorda Beach is the ideal spot to explore on foot - long coastal walks are a popular activity amongst holiday-goers.

Dine alfresco - try spicy vindaloo, traditional Thali plates or a fish curry in spicy coconut sauce whilst sipping on cashew Feni.
For a dose of culture go into Uttorda village and explore the old meandering roads with their colour washed houses which date back to Portuguese colonial times. Alternatively, take a day trip to the unique capital of Panjim for a taste of more Goan history.
