Start with a relaxed buffet breakfast at your 3★ property; most hotel breakfasts run 7:00am–10:30am so confirm with reception. A good chance to brief the group and confirm transport plans.
Walk the wide sands of Calangute and, if the group wants, book jet-skiing, banana boat or parasailing (water-sports operators generally operate ~9:00am–5:00pm). The beach itself is open 24/7.
Classic beach shack on Baga Beach famous for seafood and Goan dishes — lively ambience and easy for groups; open from about 11:00am to late evening. Good for a casual group meal.
