| Water sports facilities varying from banana boating, jet skiing, para sailing to wind surfing are all available for the tourists at Baga beach. Besides this, Baga's nightlife is one of the liveliest in Goa and is the perfect expression of the Goan and Western mix of culture. Live music and a free flow of booze makes the beach very attractive to youngsters. The tattoo shops and massage bars offering Ayurvedic body and foot massages are quite popular with the foreigners.
Crocodile and dolphin spotting down the backwaters of the Mandovi and Zuari Rivers is an alternative attraction for visitors to Baga beach. The banks of these rivers are covered with mangrove trees, inhabited by crocodiles in these swampy regions. Dolphins can be spotted at the mouth of the Mandovi River.
Baga beach in Goa lies 10 km west of Mapusa town and is an extension of Calangute beach. It offers the perfect escape for those looking for peace and quiet unlike the larger beaches in Goa.
Essentially, Baga is a fishing beach and its russet sands are now a top
draw among tourists for sun-bathing and watersports. The Baga River
flows along one side of the beach, which drops steeply to the water.
Fishing canoes make use of the good boat launching conditions and
now-a-days provide rides to tourists too.
The Baga village has developed more rapidly than any other village in Goa.
The main road running through the village to the beach is dotted with
bars and pubs, tandoori grills and handicraft shops. The Saturday flea
market of Baga is a hugely popular amongst tourists and locals and
lasts well into the night. All kinds of odds and ends, handicrafts,
jewellery and food stalls can be found here. In one corner of the
market, a temporary stage has been constructed for the local musicians
and bands. |
