Baga Beach
| This
is termed as the most "Rocking/Happening Beach" of the entire
Goa. Set amidst the lush green baga - anjuna hill, the beach is a
delight. You can laze around on the beach, with the sea breeze adding to
the magic miles and miles of sand, dotted with sun decks, is what this
beach is all about. It is the perfect sun strip for holiday makers. From
the Baga - Anjuna hill, the view of Baga beach is amazing. The Baga
river flows to the north of the beach. Numerous hotels and restaurants
are lined up on the beach coast. |

South
down to Anjuna, it is just a walk away from the beach. This beach is
actually an extension of the Calangute Beach and you wouldn't know where
Calangute ends and Baga starts. The beach has a splendid stretch for
those who love to take long walks. The picturesque view along the beach
is well worth watching. A short walk up the hill will take you to the
Baga Retreat House, established in 1953, and dedicated to St. Francis
Xavier.
