After Calangu
te, the Baga beach is probably the most popular beach in Goa. A place made famous by the hippies in the seventies, the baga beach is a favourite haunt of tourists who visit Goa. Some opine that baga is an extension of Calangute which may be true since the two beaches are in absolute close proximity to each other.
Located down the creek at the quieter end of the Candolim-calangute beach stretch, it simply completes the trio of Goa’s super beaches and is a must to
visit. Hotels and guest houses abound in this place since it is a regular destingation of tourists. One can even walk around the cliffs to Anjuna in case hiking interests you. On the way you are bound to find a small secluded bay and beach shack aptly called "Cliffs" perfect for stopping for a bite or a drink. Calangute is within walking distance in the opposite direction and incase your legs are weak to make the walk, there is ample transport to take you there.
