Baga Beach may arguably be one Goa's most popular beaches that teams with tourists practically all year round. The beach offers a plethora of options from those looking for some action, from your choice of water-sport, to several large sea-food restaurants and a pulsating (albeit more commercial) nightlife. The beach is located 9 kilometers from Mapusa (16 kilometers from Panaji) and ends where Calangute begins. Just off the main Baga Beach strip are several chic restaurants and designer boutiques, for those who prefer things more refined.
