Day 1
Day 1 in Anjuna
Kick off your Anjuna adventure with its iconic beach, vibrant flea market, and a taste of Goan nightlife. This day is all about soaking in the sun, shopping for quirky finds, and enjoying the local vibe.
Activities
Sunrise at Anjuna Beach
Start your day early with a peaceful walk along Anjuna Beach. The soft golden sand and calm waves make it perfect for a quiet morning. You might spot fishermen bringing in their catch or early yogis practicing by the shore.
- Carry a reusable water bottle; there are small shacks opening early for coconut water.
- Wear comfortable sandals—the rocks can be slippery.
Anjuna Flea Market
Head to the famous Anjuna Flea Market, a treasure trove of handmade jewelry, funky clothes, and quirky souvenirs. The market has a bohemian vibe with live music and street performers adding to the charm. Bargaining is expected, so don’t shy away!
- Carry cash; many vendors don’t accept cards.
- Wear a hat and sunscreen—it gets hot by midday.
Sunset at Curlies Beach Shack
Wrap up your day at Curlies, one of Anjuna’s most famous beach shacks. Grab a front-row seat for the sunset, sip on a chilled Kingfisher beer, and try their spicy Goan prawns. The laid-back vibe here is pure magic.
- Arrive early to snag the best seats.
- Try their seafood platter—it’s fresh and flavorful.

Day 2
Day 2 in Anjuna
Dive deeper into Anjuna's vibrant culture with a mix of history, local flavors, and offbeat spots. Today’s all about soaking in the bohemian vibe beyond the beaches.
Activities
Explore Chapora Fort
Head to Chapora Fort for panoramic views of the Vagator and Anjuna coastline. This 17th-century Portuguese ruin is a short but steep climb, but the vistas are worth it. It’s quieter in the mornings, and you’ll spot fishermen below. Bonus: This is the 'Dil Chahta Hai' fort for Bollywood fans.
- Wear sturdy shoes—the path is rocky.
- Carry water; no shops at the top.
Brunch at Artjuna
Refuel at Artjuna, a cozy café-meets-lifestyle store with a garden setting. Their Middle Eastern-inspired menu (think falafel bowls and fresh juices) is a hit. The vibe is pure Goa—laid-back, with books and handmade crafts to browse.
- Try their banana bread—it’s legendary.
- Cashless payments preferred.
Thalassa Sunset & Greek Meze
End the day at Thalassa, a cliffside taverna with killer sunset views over Little Vagator. The white-and-blue decor feels like Santorini, and their Greek meze (hummus, grilled octopus) pairs perfectly with a chilled beer. Book ahead for a front-row seat.
- Reservations are a must in peak season.
- Dress code: casual but stylish.
