Anjuna Beach 


Anjuna is a picturesque little sea village in North Goa, on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Discovered by the flower children in the late 60s it still remain the undisputed capital of Goa's rave scene. Its colourful past and vivacious present have given it a surreal quality where anything goes. All kinds of people congregate here to party up a storm and later unwind at  its many laid back beaches.


Anjuna is a huge that there is actually a south, middle and north Anjuna beach. Most of the hotels,bars,and restaurants are clustered around the north beach area. The St.Anthony's church is worth a visit and the Flea Market makes the village come alive with colour every Wednesday. This colourful market was begun by the hippies who lived here in 1970s, however, today one finds a large number of Tibetans, Kashmiris and Lamanis women peddling all kind of trinkets and clothes from all over India. An eclectic array of goodies can be found here, don't be surprised to come across some good quality hummus and yak cheese.


shallow red laterite cliffs border Anjuna's beach, terraced coconut plantation add a dash of vivid green to its landscape and silverywhite sands welcome the azure water that endlessly wash over it and then recede. Anjuna's abundant natural beauty has made it perfect setting for many a hopping beach party.The beaches here also have a laid atmosphere many restaurants offer an array of global cuisines.

The nightlife is what Anjuna is really famous for. From raves on moonlit beaches to very many trance bars, Anjuna always has many simultaneous parties each night to keep things rocking. Water sports are another added attraction here, limited mostly to the calmer south beach area, snorkelling around the rocks allows one to spot a  large variety of sea life.
