Goa is full of fascinating locations and awe-inspiring sites but one of the most wonderous locations in here, is the Devil's Finger. The beach, unlike the regular image of the sun and sand, gives a picturesque view of the sea hitting a rocky shore. Moreover, the locale is brimming with beautiful plants and flowers that'll make for the perfect addition to your Instagram feed. The rocky coastal area skirts this part of the Arabian sea and it is a great location for you to spend a day with a picnic basket and your people!

If you're travelling from Panjim, which is around 15 km away from Sinquerim Beach, you can opt for any of the bus services, private cars and autos. After you reach here, it'll take you a trek of 15-20 minutes from Fort Aguada to reach the Devil's Finger! We'd suggest you take a private car, in case you want to halt mid-way to click a few pictures of this picturesque locale.

While trekking to the Devil's Finger, you have to be extremely careful as there are no boundaries and the tracks are steep in some places. Remember to wear your trekking shoes and also carry your water bottles. In addition to that, make sure to carry sunscreen lotion, sunglasses and hats as well, so that you can enjoy sunbathing in moderation or else you'll end up like a toast!
