Right in the middle of the north and south groups of Goa beaches, Bogmalo is one of the more exclusive beaches of Goa. The presence of two deluxe Goa hotel resorts attracts the well heeled, and the limited choice of cheaper options keeps the backpackers away. The beach itself is a small, palm fringed beauty, with ideal conditions for water-sports. Thus it features some of the best water-sports facilities on any beach of Goa or India. Splash Watersports, Bogmalo Beach Park Plaza, Water-sports Goa (affiliated to ISSA) and Joet’s organize a host of water-sports.

The Naval Aviation Museum, 1 km from the beach sits atop a plateau overlooking the wide expanse of the Arabian Sea and Bogmalo Beach. On display are old aircraft used by the Indian Navy, along with naval armaments. A Jet Fighter simulator can be enjoyed by visitors and souvenirs bought from a small museum shop. The Hollant beach, 2 km away offers beautiful views encompassing the main southern beaches of Goa, along with the foothills of the Western Ghats.

The Goa beach resorts here have an excellent choice in restaurants and the cafes near the Park Plaza are also good. Seafood from the cuisine of Goa and India is a particular specialty.

Bogmalo Beach Park Plaza offers rooms with sea-views and excellent facilities. All the 126 rooms of the Tulip Star Bogmallo Beach Resort (earlier the Oberoi Bogmallo, Goa), the only high-rise hotel on a Goa beach are sea facing (with attached balconies). It offers a mini casino amongst its facilities, one of the very few hotels in Goa or India to do so. Coconut Creek is popular with those who are on a cheap Goa holiday package tour. A couple of typically cheap Goa hotels offer limited rooms.
