Betul Beach is a secluded coastal stretch located in Betul village, South Goa, where the Sal River meets the Arabian Sea. It is characterized by golden sands, a hillock on one side, and views of fishing boats and trawlers. The beach remains largely uncommercialized compared to other Goan beaches and is known for its serene environment and fresh seafood from the local fishing community. It lies approximately an hour south of Margao.

Visitors can expect a tranquil setting at the confluence of the Sal River and the Arabian Sea, with clear waters and relatively uncrowded shores. The beach features a lifeguard and offers opportunities for watching sunsets, photography, and observing local fishing activities. Fishing boats and ocean trawlers are commonly visible in the vicinity. While basic amenities are limited due to its uncommercialized nature, nearby resorts and eateries provide dining options.

Betul is home to the historic Betul Fort, which stands near the beach and offers panoramic views of the river-ocean confluence. The area has long served as a fishing port and coastal settlement in South Goa.

The beach is integral to the local fishing community of Betul village, supporting traditional livelihoods and providing fresh seafood renowned throughout Goa. It represents an authentic, less-commercialized aspect of Goan coastal culture.
