The fort at Cabo de Rama is older than the Portuguese — Hindu rulers held the cape long before it was rebuilt with bastions and a small church in the 18th century. Today it is a set of ramparts on a headland, a whitewashed chapel, and a view along the coast that stretches to Palolem on a clear day.
Below the fort a steep path leads to a small, usually empty beach. Most guests pair the fort with lunch in Agonda on the way back — the two are on the same road.
Best time: Late afternoon, staying for sunset from the western wall.
