Betul (Konkani:बेतुल) is a coastal town located in South Goa District, Goa, India.
The Sal river drains itself into the Arabian sea near Betul.A historic 17th century fort at Betul facing oblivion due to neglect is likely to be on the itinerary of tourists and others soon, as a private initiative of heritage lovers has helped to retrieve it from obscurity.
The view from the fort bastion on the southern bank of River Sal is panoramic. The river empties into the Arabian Sea and the scene extends from the tip of Mobor beach in the north to the village of Betul in the east along the extensive bay below the range of hills. Facing a threat of being obliterated for many years, the cleaned up fort ruins can be a reminder of Betul's glorious historic past. "The place was overgrown with vegetation but after our clean up drive along with some villagers, the whole fort bastion with a cannon on it can be seen
