What to expect on day 3 of Goa trekking?

We packed our belongings and walked the rest of the way. In little time, I had seen the majority of the so-called famed beaches in southern Goa. Sernabatim Beach, Colva Beach, Betalbatim Beach, Sunset Beach, Majorda Beach, Utorda Beach, and Arossim Beach were all visited. For a variety of reasons, this is a perfect location.
