The remnants of the Portuguese in Goa shine mostly through its historic colonial-style architecture. And the Fontainhas quarter preserves Goa’s rich heritage through its unique vibrant colored houses showcasing that European influence, dotted along the sides of the narrow cobbled street. A popular tourist destination, most of the quarters are explored on foot, making for a pleasant day out. And the many vibrant backdrops of the buildings make for a fantastic location for a photoshoot. 

Fontainhas quarters also feature in our list of memory locations for a pre-wedding shoot. You can find more detailed suggestions for a fantastic location across the country on this Blog on our site.

2. Morjim Beach

Goa is famous for its rocking night parties and some lively beaches. But if you want a calm, serene place with fewer people to unwind and soak in the sun, Morjim Beach is the place to go. Sandy shorelines and the breathtaking view of the Arabian sea make this one of the go-to locations for a private photo shoot. Get yourself captured just as the sun begins to set on the horizon for a dreamy whimsical shoot.The remnants of the Portuguese in Goa shine mostly through its historic colonial-style architecture.

3. Vagator Beach

Vagator Beach is quite a tourist hotspot and quite rightly so. From lively beaches where you can soak in the sun, try out various water sports, and devour delicious food, Vagator Beach caters to all kinds of tourists. It is surrounded by marvelous red cliffs that provide a view of the sea and the lake, making it a perfect spot for a photoshoot. We recommend Holidaygrapher photographer Clyde, in Goa for a memorable shoot. 

4. Reis Magos Fort

Goa is dotted with several heritage forts left behind as a part of its colonial past, which now attracts tourists from far and wide. And undoubtedly these find a place in our list. The scaling red sandstone walls of Reis Magos Fort and its ancient architecture serve as a perfect backdrop for a vintage nostalgic shoot. We suggest experimenting with your shoot by connecting with your photographer for a unique, out-of-the-box photo shoot. Also while you’re there, you can visit Fontainhas which is nearby, or try out your luck at Casino Paradise, the oldest Casino in Goa.

5. Mangrove Boardwalk Panjim

This one is for nature enthusiasts who are keen to learn about the flora and fauna of the region. This boardwalk provides a brief respite from the bustling city life and a rejuvenating experience amidst the greenery. This place photographs beautifully with the lush green trees giving an out-of-the-world, ethereal vibe to the shoots. So don’t forget to include this location in your next shoot.

6. Parra Road 

You may know Parra Road as the Dear Zindagi Road, and picture Alia Bhatt and Shahrukh Khan on cycles. This road is slowly and steadily becoming a popular destination for photoshoots. The stretch of road surrounded by large palm trees and lush green fields on either side is perfect to bring about that little Bollywood bug in you. Though conventional, we highly recommend this place for a shoot.

7. The many Portuguese Villas

Goa has its rustic charm, one that takes you back in time and places you in the middle of its rich history. Capture the most of its heritage by getting yourself clicked at the many Portuguese-style villas which are scattered all over the state. The white picket fences and the vibrant blues, yellows, and reds of the villas are eye-catching and make for a colorful shoot. 

Finally, we would like to end by saying that there is beauty at every turn in Goa. You can party the night away or spend time as a recluse soaking in the charm of the state. Whatever you choose to do, don’t forget to take out some time for exploration and getting yourself clicked around the state. A photoshoot in Goa is just a click away from you.
