Beach shacks - open-air, seasonal restaurants set up directly on the sand - are one of the defining features of a Goa beach day, serving everything from fresh grilled fish to simple thali meals.
Highlights
- Fresh catch-of-the-day seafood, usually grilled or curried
- Goan classics like fish curry rice, prawn balchao and bebinca
- Beach loungers usually included with a food/drink order
- Most shacks operate seasonally, roughly October to May
Check the day's catch and ask for prices before ordering, especially for seafood by weight.
