Goa guide- for the one who favours sea

The captivating state in India that appeals as a therapeutic and jam-packed entertainment stop. A perfect place to say, where finding booze is easier than finding a coffee; where vodka bottle is cheaper than your water bottle; where the sun never sets for the social bees - is none other than Goa.

This Kaleidoscope blend of Indian and Portuguese cultures, sweetened with sun, sea and sand, there's nowhere in India quite like this. Truly, besides ‘pint-sized’, Goa is a lot more about going 'bananas'.

Goa is sun, sand and spice.

Here is the lowdown on must-go beaches, but before that let me remind you two things, which are most affordable in Goa - fuel for your scooty and fuel for yourselves - tank up both and move on...

Where to head your heels

No beach is covered without suntanning. Calangute, Baga beach and Anjuna beach are the three strands of journey that braid together for the everlasting joy.

1. Calangute 

The Largest beach in north Goa alias “Queens of beaches", will never ditch you in welcoming with its entrancing environ. Once you arrive, you can unveil your hidden sporty diva by indulging in water zorbing, paragliding, motorboat rides, jet skiing, windsurfing, and snorkelling. On the sand, bring out the child in you by playing tug of war.

2. Baga Beach

For those looking to try their hand at something Gusto, Baga Beach is for you. The night never sleeps here, this place offers undying EDM, alcohol and food. An alley filled with legendary bars and restaurants like Britto's, Tito's and Mambos for dancing all night and then lay back near the shore.

3. Anjuna beach

Pump up your adrenaline in Anjuna beach, which is known for its unparalleled natural beauty, glowing white sand and swaying palms. After going gaga by the picturesque views, be specific for your taste as you are going to be spoilt for choice at the most alluring shack Curlies.

4. Panaji- Explore Capital

At last, immerse yourself in the state capital, Panaji, majorly famous for two things - cruise ride for families and casinos for spoilt brats. By stepping into a leisurely cruise in Mandovi River, witness the sunset and locals performance on mandos (Folk dance). Next, stop at the flea market for your Goa dress crushes.

Goa's serenity, relaxation and fun is the best way to recharge yourself. Perhaps“Jaadu from koi mil gaya" might have visited Goa for Dhoop.

Best Season: October to March.
