Situated on the west coast of India in the popular tourist state of Goa, Baga is a vibrant coastal town set along a magnificent beach that extends all the way up the coast from Sinquerim. This popular resort is contiguous with the neighbouring seaside town of Calangute, which is known for its excellent restaurants and lively beach bars. Baga’s world-famous beach is widely considered to be one of the best beaches in the country, providing an ideal playground for a range of outdoor activities such as parasailing, banana boat rides, dolphin-watching boat cruises, and leisurely walks up to Baga creek past the colourful fishing boats and the continuous row of local beach shacks lining the shore. The nearby Portuguese forts at Aguada and Chapora are also certainly worth a visit, as is the famous flea market at Anjuna Beach.
