Good morning and how are you doing today?
I hope you're having a wonderful day it is bright blue sunny skies and another hot gorgeous
day in India and today we are on the beaches of Goa
So today i'm going to take you around and show you the beaches of north Goa, let's go
and have a look.
At Ashwen beach is one of the less crowded beaches of north Goa which means more peace
and quiet and privacy for you.
They still have lifeguards though.
There are long stretches of beach with no shacks no restaurant or sunbeds so you can
choose your own private spot and enjoy the day of this light soft sand, it's really nice,
the waves on Ashwen are also quite gentle so remember to pack your swimming costume.
The various shacks and places along the beach do offer drinks and meals and sunbeds, as
normal the sun beds are free if you're eating in the shack and there's brollies for the
customers if you don't want to toast too badly.
The beach is a nice wide beach with soft white sand and the surrounding palm groves around
it give it a very picturesque look.
It's a great beach for in the north Goa area if you want a peaceful quiet option without
too much going on now let's show you around Ashwem beach.
Now next door to the more famous Baga beach is Calangute beach, another popular beach
in north Goa where you can have a great time enjoying everything on offer here.
Shacks and restaurants offer food and snacks and drinks while along the beach you can partake
in a lot of water sports.
There's jet skis, parasailing, banana boats, just boat trips for dolphin watching.
Along the beach you've then got massages and sun beds and of course brollies to sit under
and of course the ever popular nightlife here.
Now the beach although it can get busy it is a pleasant beach and the nice gentle waves
make it quite suitable for swimming along this beautiful long beach.
Now as the evening comes on and the beautiful sunset sits right in front of you, because
again like all these beaches along Goa the sunset is right out there so you can sit and
enjoy the beautiful sunset because then the party really begins.
A lot of the places along the beach offer live music in the evenings and dancing right
along the beach, so find a place that matches your beat and dance until dawn on Calangute
beach.
Let's go dance.
Now, lined with sunbeds and brollies Candolim beach has a more relaxed feel than Baga or
Calangute but is still a very busy beach with plenty to do including yoga, parasailing,
dolphin trips, massages amongst the cafes and shacks and restaurants.
It is also a popular place for buying souvenirs or shopping for cloth and many local shops
offer a beautiful selection just behind the beach.
As with most the beaches in north Goa Candolim beach comes alive at night with live music
spilling out onto the beach and nightclubs on the street behind the beach allowing you
to let your hair down and find your groove.
Oh what a gorgeous day it is hot and beautiful today and this is the popular Baga beach one
of the busiest beaches in Goa.
Now tourism arrived here in the 60s with the flower children or hippies when very few people
had even heard of this place but after the famous summer of love in 67 hippies and tourists
started to flock here to experience the tranquil way of life, laid back atmosphere and endless
parties on beautiful beaches.
Now Baga is still the top party spot in Goa and it still attracts people who are seeking
answers to love life and liberty as well as your normal tourists.
You can find everything along Baga beach, water sports, cocktails, sun beds, yoga, dance
clubs, food, massages, drinks, sunsets and more.
So if you want to make some new friends or maybe even reinvent your life come and visit
Baga beach.
The most northerly of the beaches on our list is Arambol beach, it is also the least developed
beach in north Goa.
The beach itself is beautiful it takes us to a rocky end at one side and then broadens
out along the beach to a beautiful sandy beach, it's also great for swimming here.
Behind is lined with thick forest and also this wonderful street that wends its way behind
the beach which is just full of literally hundreds of local shacks and stops shops to
buy all your supplies, it is really nice.
Now it was one of the quieter hippie beaches during the 60s but rumor has it that the Beatles
came here to meditate and find inspiration for some of their famous songs, no idea if
that's true or what songs it meant.
There is still a hippie culture here and it is one of the more cheaper cheerful place
to stay, it's kept a more local feel so there is lots of more budget end place to stay,
there's no resorts of any kind which is quite nice.
So if you want somewhere to go which is kept it's more of a local character, it has still
got quite a lot going on a great beach for swimming then this is quite a good option.
Let's take you and show you around Arambol beach.
A fort at one end, a river of the other, and a palm grove between surround Vagator beach,
the most picturesque beach in north Goa.
Now it's not as busy as the more popular north goa beaches, and it's wide at one end narrowing
down to a rocky entrance at the other, it's very very picturesque and lovely and beautiful
it's also got the fort on the hill behind making it a beautiful setting to enjoy a day
at, a quiet day at that.
There's a few rocky patches on the beach like this one and big swathes of sand in between,
it's not a big beach so it's a little more personal.
There's only a couple of places to get food and drinks on the beach, one at one into the
beach one at the other, they also have sun beds and brollies that you can enjoy the day
at or you can just find a patch of sand in between and chill for the day.
There's a whole selection of places to stay right behind the beach from private villas,
hotels, hostels and guest houses you should be able to find something to fit your budget
and style so you can come and enjoy Vagator beach.
This beach was one of the first beaches in Goa to become popular thanks to the hippie
culture that discovered and then descended upon this area in the 60s and the 70s, and
although it has changed a lot through the years it's still a fantastic place for people
wanting to get a taste of that hippie lifestyle and backpackers on a budget and people looking
for a cool place to hang around a bit this is a great home from home.
It's not a typical all sand beach, there's like rocky outcrops and little sand beaches
in between and the tide can come quite high so there's some broad and narrow sections
of beaches but it makes it nice feeling.
You get these little bays and then big bays, dotted amongst them you've got places to eat
cafes and restaurants that also have great food, there's also a lot of live music in
the evening and often there's a few parties along this beach especially Wednesday Thursdays
Friday Saturdays and Sunday nights so it's a good place to come where you can chill during
the day and party during the night.
There is a good selection of accommodation, more budget end towards this beach which is
nice so there's some beach huts, some guest houses there is also one or two villas but
there's no resorts along here so it's got a nice feeling of that sort of more relaxed
local feel.
It's a beautiful scenic beach, you've got some palm trees dotted behind so it's quite
a nice place to come and chill for a little bit, enjoy the days sunbathe, dance the night
away.
Let's show you around Anjuna Beach.
