About Anjuna Beach
The beach that put Goa on the backpacker map in the 1960s and 70s. Rocky outcrops, clifftop cafés and a strong sense of history — swim carefully, as the rocks make parts of the shoreline tricky.
Good to know
- Why go: Hippie-era classic.
- Best time: Nov–Mar, sunset.
- Good for: beach, party, scenic, sunset.
- North Goa is the livelier half of the coast: cafés, nightlife, markets and water sports.
- Tip: Swim only between the lifeguard flags, never after dark or after a drink, and never in the monsoon sea (June–September).
