Travel to Goa - A guide to Goa tourism, beaches, resorts and hotels

Baga beach in Goa

by Nishita Zachariah | in

A stopover at the very popular Calangute beach is a must for all tour operators. But tourists on the lookout for something different need only walk north along this stretch of overcrowded sand to find a scene right out of a picture book. The beach at Baga is one of the most beautiful and scenic beaches in the north of Goa that has been left unspoiled, thanks largely to the presence of better-known beaches. This beach is part of a 30-km stretch of coastline along the coast of Goa, that few visitors know about, because of its more well-known and congested neighbour, Calangute.

Travel to Goa - Calangute Beach

by Vikram Chandiramani | in

Calangute Beach is the most popular and populated beach in Goa. Tourists from all over the world come down here every year during December. There are many accomodation options here, from the cheapest inns to the relatively more expensive star-hotels. Alcohol is very cheap here, like in the rest of Goa. Beer, vodka, wine and of course Goa's own distinctive cashew feni and coconut feni are available at prices that are a fraction of the prices in Indian cities such as Mumbai and Delhi.
