Galgibaga Beach, South Goa

Galgibaga Beach in Canacona, South Goa is the kind of place pet parents quietly bookmark and never fully share — a free, unhurried stretch of coastline where dogs of all sizes are reportedly welcome alongside cats. For anyone planning a dog friendly Goa trip away from the louder northern beaches, this one earns its 4.1-star rating from 21 reviewers for good reason.

The Setting

Canacona sits at the quieter southern end of Goa, and Galgibaga Beach reflects that unhurried pace — it's the kind of shore where a dog can actually stretch its legs without weaving through packed sunbeds. As a free-entry beach, there's no ticketing queue to navigate, which makes the logistics of travelling with pets that bit simpler. Whether you're doing a weekend road trip from Bengaluru or a longer Goa circuit, this spot fits naturally into a pets-allowed Canacona itinerary for those who prefer the state's calmer side.
