Baga Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Goa with its vibrant nightlife and upbeat atmosphere. Known as the party hub of Goa, it is a perfect place to start your trip and immerse yourself in the energy and culture of Goa. The water sports activities such as parasailing and jet skiing are a popular attraction amongst tourists. The beach is lined with several restaurants serving fresh seafood and local cuisine. You can also indulge in some retail therapy at the night market that sells a variety of handmade jewellery, clothes, and craft items.
Fort Aguada is a well-preserved 17th-century Portuguese fort that offers a magnificent view of the Arabian Sea. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Goa and is steeped in history. There are several attractions within the fort such as a lighthouse, a colonial prison, and a sweet water tank. The fort is also surrounded by the Sinquerim beach which is perfect for a leisurely swim or a long walk. The experience is ideal for people who are interested in history and architecture or looking for a quiet time, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you have more time, you can explore the waterfalls of Goa such as Dudhsagar Falls or visit the churches of Old Goa. If you have less time, skip the night market and spend more time exploring the beaches. Ensure that you wear comfortable footwear and carry sunscreen as it gets hot during the day. Goa is well connected by taxis and motorbikes that can be rented if you don't have a personal vehicle.
