Baga Beach

Baga beach has always had an unlucky association with Calangute beach due it's close proximity but unlike Calungute which is too busy, overcrowded and rather spoilt, Baga is a quiet fishing village with a flat sandy beach and quiet gentle sea perfect for swimming.



Goa is not famous for it's nude beaches and anyone brave enough to strip down on an Indian beach deserves a medal but Baga beach is well known for it's topless sun bathers and of course the Indian gawkers whom always compliment such an event.

Bars, Restaurants and Clubs

The night-life on Baga beach is certainly is one of the best i've experienced in India. There are loads of bars, clubs and restaurants. 'Tito's' is one of the most popular bars and clubs at Baga. With regards to the restaurants I recommend would be Bernard's, Alton Gardens and East Meets West. They are all easy to find along the beach and all offer a great evening dining while watching the sunset and listening to the waves crash along the shore.....
