Goa – one of the nicest places in the world is located on the south-eastern part of India. This small plot of land is almost entirely comprised of not spoiled public beaches. Around 40 beaches stretch for more than 100 km along the coast of the Arabian Sea.
Goa is divided into northern and southern parts. The border is considered to be Fort Aguada. The southern beaches are sandy, clean, designed for wealthy holidaymakers. The sea is warm, calm over there. While not rich tourists, students, hippies, musicians, prefer to stay in the north.
On the beaches there are discos, variety of shops, eateries, bustling bazaars. All the beaches are municipal, but those portions of the beach, which are assigned to specific hotels, are protected.
Usage of the rest of beaches and equipments are free of charge.

Tiracol

Vagator
Tour operators have long mastered the Vagator, so it’s quite difficult for tourists to find a place in this hotel.
Steep hill leading down to the beach of Vagator, is enriched by Chapora Fort, built in 1617 by the Portuguese in the ruins of more ancient Islamic buildings. A fantastic view of the neighborhood opens from the fort. In this part of the beach there are high cliffs, popular among honeymooners and those looking for solitude.
A little further south is a small quiet beach, known as Little Vagator beach or Ozran. It is less known and therefore less populated. The uniqueness is guaranteed here.
