Here's where to go and when.\n\n## Goa — two very different coasts\nNorth Goa (Baga, Anjuna, Vagator) is nightlife, markets and beach shacks. South Goa (Palolem, Agonda, Colva) is calm, clean and slow. Most trips mix both. See [Goa itineraries](\u002Fcollections\u002Fgoa-itineraries).\n\n## Gokarna — Goa's laid-back neighbour\nA cluster of walk-in coves (Om, Kudle, Half Moon) in Karnataka for travellers who want the beach without the crowds.\n\n## The Andaman Islands\nThe clear winner for water: Radhanagar on Havelock is regularly rated among Asia's best beaches, with snorkelling and diving around Neil Island. Fly into Port Blair and ferry across.\n\n## Kerala's coast\nVarkala's cliff-top beach and the quiet sands of Marari pair beautifully with the backwaters on a [Kerala itinerary](\u002Fcollections\u002Fkerala-itineraries).\n\n## Best time to visit\nNovember to March is ideal on both coasts — dry, warm and calm seas. Avoid the June–September monsoon for beach time.\n\n## Tips\n- Andaman ferries book out — reserve seats in advance.\n- Respect swim-flag warnings; some beaches have strong currents.\n- Carry reef-safe sunscreen.\n\nExplore more [beach and island getaways](\u002Fcollections\u002Fbeach-and-island-getaways) and let Yatrikk plan your days — free.","https:\u002F\u002Fdguywtfobmnehffsthxh.supabase.co\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Finventory-images\u002Ftrip-covers\u002Fmarketplace\u002Fandaman.jpg",[],[],"India","2026-07-25T11:54:54.271Z"]
