Sounds crazy but there is a beach in Goa that is a secret beach. Accessible only by ferry from other popular beaches, Butterfly Beach got its name owing to the plethora of butterflies that can be found there.

There is no access to the beach by road since the area is heavily forested. One can take a 2 hour trek through the forest.
