A
Charming Combination
Of Land And Sea
Baga,
10 kms. west of Mapusa,
is basically an extension
of Calangute
beach with
clean white sand.
Baga is a small but
perfect beach located
between its two famous
cousins, Colva
and Calangute.
It is a far better
place to enjoy some
restful moments. It
is a fishing
beach with
international tourists
marinating in the
sun and domestic visitors
paddling. There is
the grove of palms
coming fairly close
to the water’s
edge. The Baga River
flows down one side
of it offering a pleasant
diversion for children.

Its scenic beauty, with the creek,
the Retreat House perched on the
hill and the lack of local tourist
buses all have contributed to
its unique beauty. Western tourists
use it as a base for water sports
and fishing. To counter the importance
of the Wednesday flea market at
Anjuna, Baga
has begun a Saturday night market,
which is quite impressive but
somehow lacks the charm of the
Anjuna market.
PLACES
TO STAY
The rough-and-ready places dotted
around the fishing village usually
have space for accommodation.
Reasonable budget houses and rooms
for rent are also available on
the quieter north side of the
river.
LEISURE
EATING OUT
Baga has arguably the best range
of restaurants in Goa, from standard
beach shacks to swish pizzerias
and terrace cafes serving real
espresso coffee. Because of the
stiff competition, prices are
generally reasonable and the quality
of cooking high. For a splurge,
splash out on a candlelit dinner
at J & A's Riverside Trattoria,
or a traditional Goan meal at
the eccentric Casa Portuguesa.
NIGHTLIFE
Thanks to the droves of predominantly
British package tourists who stay
here, Baga's nightlife is the
liveliest in the area. Most of
the revellers end up at Tito's,
which has the only dance floor
and hefty sound system outside
a big hotel for miles. Women are
allowed in for free; "unaccompanied"
men and couples have to pay.
