Baga Beach is part of a 30-km stretch of beach coastline along the west coast of Goa by the Arabian Sea, 10-km west of Mapusa, is basically an extension of Calangute beach. Lying in the rocky, wooded headland, the only difference between this far northern end of the Baga beach and its more congested center of Calangute Beach is that the scenery of this beach site is more varied, unspoiled and scenic.

Scenic Beauty

The quiet atmosphere and isolated location of Baga, beside the scenic beauty that surrounds it have contributed to the beach being a favourite among the beach lovers. Baga beach is more popular with western tourists who love to use it as a base for water sports and fishing in the area. Baga has arguably the best range of restaurants in Goa, from standard beach shacks to swish pizzerias and terrace cafes serving real espresso coffee. Tourists can opt for a candlelit dinner at the beacheside, or a traditional Goan meal at the shacks and restaurants offering continental as well as tempting seafood.

Nightlife

Baga's nightlife is the liveliest in the area. Most of the travellers end up at Tito's, which has the only dance floor and hefty sound system outside a big hotel for miles.
