The mouth of the Baga River (Baga
Creek) is at the beach's north end and the beach is sort of the end of the road
- and the end of the beach strip Sinquerim to Baga. Although this is a
relatively small beach, there is so much going on!
Brito's is a good resturant on the beach for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a cold Kingfisher. In front of Brito's you can rent beach chairs. You'll be offered trinkets, massages, and boat rides. There are watersports available and fishing canoes will make the short trip to Anjuna flea market on Wednesdays (a great option since the trip by road is much longer). And of course, there are beach shacks.
The beach is usually fairly clean (at least one of the cleaner beaches). It gets very hot in the afternoons so be sure to wear sunscreen, a hat, and drink plenty of water. You can swim in the sea but watch the undertow.
The street in front of the beach is packed with restaurants, shops, and guesthouses. Popular clubs Tito's and Mambo's are also located in Baga. Along with Candolim and Calangute, if you stay in this area, you will find everything you need.

Baga
Beach in north Goa may be touristy and busy but for those who like action, it’s
one of the most happening beaches on the coast. You'll find everything from
water sports to fine dining restaurants there, along with a pulsating
nightlife.
Location
Baga Beach is located inNorth Goa, 9 kilometers (6 miles)
from Mapusa and 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Panaji, the state capital. It's
bordered by Calangute Beach to the south, and Anjuna Beach to the north on the other side of the
river. Baga Beach starts right where Calangute ends, although it's hard to
pinpoint exactly where.
Climate
and Weather
The weather at Baga is warm
throughout the year. Temperatures rarely reach more than 33 degrees Celsius (91
degrees Fahrenheit) during the day or drop below 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees
Fahrenheit) at night. Some winter nights can get a bit chilly from December to
February though. Baga receives rain from the southwest monsoon from June to
August. The beach huts close during this time, although many
nightspots remain open. The tourist season kicks off in late October, and
starts slowing down around March.
What to Do
Water sports are a huge
attraction. You can go para sailing, wake boarding, windsurfing,kite surfing, or take a ride on a
jet ski. Dolphin spotting trips and island trips are other popular
options. However, many people are simply content lazing on the sun
lounges in front of the beach shacks all day and feasting on a steady supply of
food, beer, and cocktails.
Where
to Stay
The Ronil Beach Resort has double rooms for $85 per night and
is centrally located, five minutes walk from the beach. Colonia Santa Maria is a bit more upmarket and has
cottages leading to the beach for $150. The new and popular 16 Degrees North is a boutique hotel by the river with
rooms prices around $140. Baia Do Sol is another similarly priced boutique
hotel with a wonderful location on the river front.
Where to Party
Baga is well known for its
commercial nightlife, most of which can be found in and around Tito's Lane --
home to the infamous Club
Tito and Cafe Mambo. Both hold regular events with interstate DJs.
Many people don't think Tito's is worth the money though, despite the hype
(expect to pay 2,000 rupees for single guys, and 1,500 rupees for a couple).
Cape Town Cafe is widely regarded as the best place
to party on Tito's Lane. Also, head to hip Cocktails and Dreams to try an
astonishing variety of cocktails and shooters, and be dazzled by barmen with
impressive flame juggling skills. Guys will love the Sports Cafe. For those who
prefer live music, Cavala caters to an older crowd and has retro
performances on many nights of the week.
Where to Eat
Fiesta (opposite Club Titos) will take your
breath away with its magical setting and scrumptious food. Britto's, a beach
shack specializing in seafood, is a popular tourist place that serves Goan
cuisine that isn't too spicy for the western palate. Find it at the far northern
end of the beach. You can dine on a table right on the beach. The Lila Cafe,
with its offerings of freshly baked bread on the river bank, is recommended for
breakfast and lunch. The spectacular garden setting of East Meets West is perfect for romantic night time
dining, and there's live music nightly too.
