Terekhol Fort
Terekhol Fort sits at Goa's northern tip, a small 17th-century Portuguese fort overlooking the Arabian Sea and the mouth of the Terekhol River, reached by a short ferry ride that's part of the appeal of the visit. Part of the fort has been converted into a small heritage hotel, and there's a chapel within the fort walls.
It's a quieter, less-visited corner of Goa, appealing to those wanting a scenic, low-key coastal stop away from the busier beach areas further south, and the ferry crossing itself adds a memorable element to the trip.
