Beaches in IndiaGoa Beaches–» ANJUNA BEACH  With
its fluorescent painted palm trees and infamous full moon parties, ANJUNA, 8-km
west of Mapusa, is Goa at its most "alternative". Designer leather
and lycra may have superseded cotton Kaftans, but most people's reasons for
coming are the same as they were in the 1970s: dancing and lying on the beach
slurping tropical fruit. While browsing in the area have a day trip to the famous
flea market. One of the main sources of Anjuna's enduring popularity as a hippy hang out is its superb beach. Fringed by groves of swaying coconut palms, the curve of soft white sand conforms more closely to the archetypal vision of paradise than any other beach on the north coast. Bathing is generally safer than at most of the nearby resorts, too, especially at the more peaceful southern end, where a rocky headland keeps the sea calm and the undertow to a minimum. North of the market ground, the beach broadens, running in an uninterrupted kilometre long stretch of steeply shelving sand to a low red cliff. The village bus park lies on top of this high ground, near a crop of small cafes, bars and Kashmiri handicraft stalls. Every lunch hour, tour parties from Panjim pull in here for a beer, before heading home again, leaving the ragged army of sun weary westerners to enjoy the sunset. Anjuna attracts a variety of tourists touring Goa, and the crowd includes from the happy go lucky kinds to overlanders, monks, defiant ex-hippies, gentle lunatics, artists, artisans, seers, searchers etc. Even those particular kinds of tourists who prefer to travel within the limit of their tour itinerary, cannot resist visiting this charming beach site.

10-km west of Mapusa, is basically an extension of Calangute; even the locals
are unable to decide where ends and the other begin. Lying in the lee of a rocky,
wooded headland, the only difference between this far northern end of the beach
and its more congested centre is that the scenery here is marginally more varied
and picturesque.A small river flows into the sea at the top of the village, below a broad spur of soft white sand, from where a dirt track strikes across an expanse of paddy fields towards Anjuna. The old red tiled fishers houses behind the dunes have long been swamped by gaudily lit bars, Tandoori terrace restaurants and handicraft shops, but one doesn't feel quite so hemmed in as at Calangute. A fishing seashore lined with thickets of shady palm trees that provides a stunning view against the playful sea waves, Baga Beach is secluded enough to gain popularity among the topless sunbathers, though it is not among the famous 'nude' beaches. The flat beach of Baga has white clean sands and is safe for swimming. Besides water sports and fishing, there are lively watering holes with dance floors that pep up the Goa's nightlife. Baga is a fishing beach that sees a lot of international tourists sun-bathing in its golden sun, as a grove of palms gently sways in the wind. The Baga River flows along one side of Baga beach Goa offering a good alternative for children and those who are not too confident about swimming in the sea. On one of the far ends of the beach, lies a group of black rocks against which the sea crashes in dramatic explosions of spray. Click here for Reservation –» BOGMALO BEACH  When
compared with Calangute Or Colva, Bogmalo still seems a small-scale beach resort,
still there's something about seclusion that one finds over here that makes
one visit this beach area every time one visit's Goa. Beside this beach site
is a reasonably safer site for swimming and have quite good eating joints and
shopping options in Goa. The beach is clean and not too crowded, the water reasonably
safe for swimming, and there are plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. If,
on the other hand, one is looking for somewhere not yet, on the package tourist
map, one'll be better off further south, at the far end of Colva Beach or beyond.
Immediately south of the airport, the Mormugao peninsula's sun parched central plateau tumbles to a flat-bottomed valley lined with coconut trees and redbrick huts. The sandy beach at the end of the cove would be even more picturesque were it not for the monstrous multi-storey edifice perched above it. Until Oberoi erected a huge five star hotel here, Bogmalo was just another small fishing village, hemmed in by a pair of palm fringed headlands at the northern end of Colva bay. Click here for Reservation –» CHAPORA BEACH Crouched in the shadow of a Portuguese fort on the opposite, northern side of the headland from Vagator, Chapora, 10-km from Mapusa, is a lot busier than most north coast villages. Dependent on fishing and boat building, it has, to a great extent, retained a life of its own independent of tourism. The leisure purpose is very well served by the Main Street, lined with as many regular stores as travellers cafes and restaurants. Click here for Reservation Goa
