emblematic of the place. Whether it is the water sports fling or the endless
booze and food, Baga beach is just full of life in every sense of the word. The

around a kilometer or two away from the main beach stretch for dolphin sighting.
Phew! So much in one place! Hang on. If you thought, it’s only about eating and
playing with the water at this beach; then you would be stunned to know that
you can very well conciliate the shopaholic with you by exploring the Arpora
Village which is located in close proximity.

the beaches in Goa. With the blue waters of the Arabian Sea lapping its shores,
it's a heaven for nature lovers. Plus, it lets aviate over the waves with
para-sailing and a host of adventure sports. There are many mezzanine areas
spread on the stretch, where you can fritter away in the sun for hours. It has
got many restaurants that dish up some really sizzling grubs, especially
continental and sea food. And as Neelam’s The Grand ensconces half a kilometer
by its side, a walk can land you right there to settle back and tranquilize.
Calangute is also one of the most commercially buzzing beaches of Goa, and you
can bag in some chunk jewelry from here. This beach in Goa is also known as the
Queen of Beaches. The period from November to February is the most pleasant to
visit here. It is adorned with shacks and stalls under the shade of palm trees
selling everything from fried prawns and beer, to trinkets made of seashells. One

friends. If you are with your family, you can choose to lounge around, listen
to the music, and take in the marvelous views of the beach. Many claim that you
haven't seen Goa, if you've not been to Club Cabana, the night club in the sky,
and we wholeheartedly second that. With great music, great ambience, great
management, unlimited drinks and classy crowds, Cabana simply bowls you over.
