Day 1
Day 1 in Anjuna
Kick off your Anjuna adventure with its iconic beaches, vibrant markets, and stunning cliffs. Today is all about soaking in the sun, exploring local culture, and indulging in Goan flavors.
Activities
Sunrise at Anjuna Beach
Start your day early with a peaceful walk along Anjuna Beach. The soft golden light at sunrise makes the shoreline look magical. You'll spot fishermen bringing in their catch and maybe even a few early-morning yoga sessions. The beach is quieter at this hour, perfect for some solitude before the crowds arrive.
- Bring a light shawl—mornings can be breezy.
- Wear sandals; the sand gets hot quickly after sunrise.
Explore Anjuna Flea Market
Head to the famous Anjuna Flea Market, a lively bazaar packed with colorful stalls selling everything from handmade jewelry to funky clothes. The market has a bohemian vibe, with live music and street performers adding to the energy. Bargaining is expected, so don’t hesitate to haggle for a good deal.
- Carry cash—many vendors don’t accept cards.
- Try the fresh coconut water from stalls inside the market.
Cliffside Lunch at Curlies
For lunch, make your way to Curlies, a legendary beach shack perched on the cliffs overlooking the Arabian Sea. The laid-back vibe, reggae music, and killer seafood make it a must-visit. Try their grilled lobster or the Goan fish curry—both are local favorites.
- Ask for a table by the edge for the best sea views.
- Their kokum mojito is a refreshing choice.

Day 2
Day 2 in Anjuna
A mix of nature, local culture, and offbeat spots to round out your Anjuna experience, from a peaceful morning at a hidden beach to a sunset with live music.
Activities
Morning at Little Vagator Beach
Skip the crowds and head to Little Vagator, a quieter cove just north of Anjuna. The red cliffs and soft sand make it perfect for a lazy morning swim or just soaking up the sun. There’s a funky shack here called Nine Bar that does great fresh juices and light bites if you need a snack.
- Bring water shoes—the rocks near the shore can be sharp
- Weekdays are much quieter than weekends
Lunch at Artjuna Garden Café
This bohemian garden café is an Anjuna institution, serving wholesome Middle Eastern-inspired food with lots of vegan options. The falafel plates and fresh salads are legendary, and the shaded outdoor seating under mango trees feels like a hidden oasis. They also have a small boutique selling handmade crafts.
- Try the mint lemonade—it’s addictive
- Cash preferred, though cards are sometimes accepted
Sunset at Thalassa
End your trip with Greek mezze and killer views at this cliffside taverna. The whitewashed decor and blue accents will make you feel like you’re in the Aegean, but the sunset over Vagator Beach is pure Goa. Live music (usually acoustic or reggae) starts around 5:30 PM—get there early to snag a front-row table.
- Reservations are a must in high season
- Their baklava is worth saving room for
