Baga Beach Goa

Baga is a small and quiet beach located between two more famous beaches like Colva on one side and Calangute on the other.

Here the colour of sand is brown, which makes it different from other beaches. The Baga River flows down one side of it offering a pleasant diversion for children and those who love the water but can’t risk the currents at the seaside. Where the river and the sea meet, and on the far right bank, there is a group of black rocks against which the sea crashes in dramatic explosions of spray. Besides, there are endless line of shops, restaurants and hotels.
