KA-GO Border Beach — A Hidden Gem at the Goa–Karnataka Edge
View Location 
If you think you’ve seen every beach in Goa, wait until you discover KA-GO Border Beach — a tiny, cliff-framed paradise at the very edge of Goa, right where the state meets Karnataka. This secret spot, often reached from Polem Beach, is one of the most secluded and untouched beaches in all of South Goa.
How to Reach KA-GO Border Beach
The beach doesn’t have a direct road. Instead:
- Drive to Polem Beach, Goa’s southernmost accessible beach.
- From Polem, hire a local boat to KA-GO Border Beach. The ride is short but scenic, giving you incredible views of cliffs and turquoise waters.
- Adventurous travelers sometimes trek part of the way through dense greenery, but this is not a marked path and is best done with locals.
Because of its remoteness, you’ll likely find no crowds — sometimes not even another traveler in sight.
What to Expect
Unlike the bustling sands of Palolem or Colva, KA-GO Border Beach is raw and wild.
- The shoreline is barely 70 meters long, hugged tightly by tall rocky cliffs.
- Coconut palms sway above the cliffs, and you’ll often hear nothing but the waves and birds.
- If you’re lucky, you may spot white-bellied sea eagles circling above or even dolphins playing in the distance.
This is the kind of place you come to disconnect, reflect, and breathe. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or photographers seeking solitude.
Safety & Tips
- ⚠️ Swimming is not safe here: the seabed drops steeply and waves can be unpredictable.
- Carry your own food and water — there are no beach shacks or shops nearby.
- Visit in the early morning or around sunset for magical light and complete peace.
- Keep the place pristine: carry your trash back with you.
