I started hating my visit to Butterfly Beach before I even got there. The last 1km of the road that took us to the parking was badly in shape. It was dusty, with massive cutouts on the road. My compact SUV Tata Punch had almost given over at times. And then we reached the parking. For 100 Rupees per vehicle, the parking was intentionally overpriced. But that is okay. I understand parking can be expensive. However, no infrastructure was found at the Butterfly Beach Parking.
Good Service
This is no place for activity or fun or picnic, this is a small area of land occupied by Goa families and connected by a bridge. There is a place for sitting and relaxing. You may even park your vehicle on the side of the shore and enjoy the time off with nice breeze and see the waters.
My husband and I had the same experience too…We had our own bike as we are Goa residents…the road was too bad and bumpy that our Himalayan bike almost going to slip which never happened before and how can I forget the horrible 2km walk on our way back from butterfly beach…no lights nothing…I would never recommend butterfly beach to anyone and even if you want to visit please please please don't visit in the evening hours after 6pm..It's not worth it
