Baga Beach Food

Baga Beach is kilometer after kilometer of beach shack and accompanying restaurant. Though there are a few public beach spaces, but I recommend renting a set of chairs and umbrella for the whole day so you can relax.

We bargained so hard we had them down to 4 beds for 100 rupees (about 3 euro) for the whole day. Of course, they will get this money back later when you spend all day eating there from their bar.

Fiesta (opposite Club Titos) will take your breath away with its magical setting and scrumptious food at Baga Beach .

Britto's, a beach shack specializing in seafood, is a popular tourist place that serves delicious Goan cuisine which isn't too spicy for the western palate.

The spectacular garden setting of East Meets West is perfect for romantic night time dining, and there's live music nightly too.

Baga Beach Nightlife

Baga is well known for its nightlife, most of which can be found in and around Tito's Lane -- home to the infamous Club Tito and Cafe Mambo.

In the evening, the beach chairs are cleared, along with you if you’ve bought them for the day, and the real entertainment in Goa begins: the nightlife.

The lavish and classy open air Loungefly bar also features top DJs and will leave a memorable impression.

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 Rock n Roll every Saturday night.

Baga Beach Attractions

Water sports are a huge attraction at Baga Beach. You can go para sailing for around, wake boarding for, windsurfing for, kite surfing for, or take a ride on a jet ski, Dolphin spotting trips and island trips.

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.

The Wednesday flea market at Anjuna Beach and Saturday night market at Arpora are both close by, and will satisfy even the best shopaholics.

Baga Beach 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 beach 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.
