Viewed by 90 travelers
Day 1 · Thu, Dec 18
North Goa (Anjuna)

Arrival, Beach Time and Sunset at Anjuna

9:00 AM:

Arrive at your Goa accommodation in Anjuna or check in if early check-in is available; drop bags and freshen up. If you arrive from the airport, pre-book a taxi (approx 60-90 minutes from Dabolim) or use a hotel transfer to avoid delays.

10:00 AM:

Head to Cafe Alchemia for a late breakfast — try the eggs Benedict or a smoothie bowl on the shaded terrace. Take a relaxed walk around Anjuna’s lanes to get a feel for the local shops and beach vibe.

11:00 AM:

Stroll down to Anjuna Beach and secure a shaded lounge at Curlies Beach Shack or one of the quieter shacks nearby. Spend time swimming, sunbathing, and people-watching while sipping fresh coconut water.

12:30 PM:

Grab a light lunch at Thalassa (if open) or the nearby Gunpowder for Goan/Mangalorean flavours — try the fish curry or pork vindaloo for a local hit. Enjoy the lively terrace atmosphere and sea views.

2:00 PM:

Explore Anjuna’s flea market area (off-season stalls still open) and visit the nearby Chapora Fort for panoramic coastline views — it’s a 15-20 minute ride and an easy short hike. This is a great spot for photos and to orient yourself to North Goa.

3:30 PM:

Return to Anjuna Beach for more relaxation or rent a scooter and ride north to Vagator Beach for a change of scene. Stop for a cold drink at Vibe Bar Vagator or one of the cliffside cafés.

5:00 PM:

Head to the Anjuna cliff area near the Rocky Point to secure a good vantage for sunset — alternatively book a table at Cafe Lilliput or Salt for sunset views. Enjoy snacks and drinks while the sky changes colour.

6:15 PM:

Watch sunset over the Arabian Sea from Anjuna’s cliff or beach; the atmosphere is relaxed and often accompanied by acoustic music at nearby shacks. Capture photos and soak in the golden hour.

7:00 PM:

Freshen up back at your hotel and rest briefly before dinner — many Anjuna guesthouses and boutique hotels offer quick turnarounds. Consider a short power nap if you’re jet-lagged.

8:30 PM:

Dine at Antares or Purple Martini (Anjuna) for a lively evening — choose from seafood platters, wood-fired pizzas, and cocktails. If you prefer local Goan food, book a table at Mum’s Kitchen (nearby Candolim) or try Vinayak Family Restaurant for casual fare.

10:00 PM:

Check out Anjuna’s nightlife starters: live music at Curlies or head to Club Cabana (Arpora) for a party vibe — it’s about a 10-15 minute drive and often lively after 11 PM. Use a taxi or ride-hailing service for safe transfers.

11:30 PM:

If you prefer a low-key end, enjoy a beachside drink under the stars at Cafe Alchemia or Bliss Beach Shack. Return to your hotel when ready to rest up for the beach-hopping day tomorrow.
