Vagator Beach |
 Barely
a couple of kilometres of cliff tops and parched grassland separate
Anjuna from the southern fringes of its nearest neighbour, Vagator. A
desultory collection of ramshackle farmhouses and picturesque old
Portuguese bungalows scattered around a network of leafy lanes, the
village is entered at the east via a branch off the Mapusa Road, which
passes a few small guesthouses and restaurants before running down to
the sea. Dominated by the red ramparts of Chapora Fort, Vagator's broad white sandy beach - Big Vagator Beach also known, as "Little Vagator" is undeniably beautiful, just like a picture postcard. For better, then, to head to the next cove south. Backed by a steep wall of crumbling palm-fringed laterite, Ozran Vagator beach is more secluded and much less accessible than either of its neighbours. 
To get there, walk ten minutes from Big Vagator, or drive to the end of
the lane off the main Chapora-Anjuna Road, from where a footpath drops
sharply down to a wide stretch of level white sand. At this southern end of the beach, a row of makeshift cafes provides shade and sustenance for a predominantly Israeli crowd. Like Anjuna, Vagator is a relaxed, comparatively undeveloped resort that appeals, in the main, to budget travellers with time on their hands. Accommodation is limited, however, and visitors frequently find themselves travelling to and from Baga every day to find a suitable place to stay. |
Leisure |
|
Eating Out EATING OUT AND NIGHTLIFE Vagator's many cafes and restaurants are scattered along the main road and the back lanes that lead to Ozran Beach. There are also several seafood joints behind Big Vagator Beach, one or two of which serve Indian dishes in addition to the usual fish rich Goan specialties. Nightlife focuses on the Primrose café, out towards Anjuna, which boasts a beefier than average sound system, and a later bar. |
How To Get There |
|
By Road Buses leave Panaji (a 55- minute
ride) and Mapusa (a 30-minute ride) for Vagator every 15 minutes. From
the bus stop it is a 1-km walk over a hill to the beach. Most of the
accommodation, restaurants and cafes are located in this area. Panaji,
Goa is accessible by air from all the major cities of the country. There
are adequate train and bus connections also from other cities. |
Places To StayAccommodation in Vagator revolves around a few family run budget guesthouses, a pricey resort hotel and dozens of small private properties rented out for long periods. |

Prime Attractions of Mapusa |
|
With its fluorescent painted palm trees and infamous
full moon parties, ANJUNA, 8-km west of Mapusa, is Goa at its most "alternative".

|
Baga, 10-km west of Mapusa, is basically an extension
of Calangute; even the locals are unable to decide where ends and the
other begin. more.. |
|
Crouched in the shadow of a Portuguese fort on the
opposite, northern side of the headland from Vagator, Chapora, 10-km
from Mapusa, is a lot busier than most north coast villages.

Chapora fort was built by the Adil Shah of Bijapur on
the southern headland of the Chapora River. It was also known as "Shahpur"
