Day 1
Day 1 in Baga
Kick off your Goa trip with Baga's most iconic spots—sun, sand, and seafood. Start with the famous beach, explore a lively market, and end with a sunset by the river.
Activities
Baga Beach Morning Stroll
Baga Beach is where Goa’s vibe truly comes alive. Start your day with a peaceful walk along the shoreline, dodging the occasional fisherman’s net. The water is calm in the mornings, perfect for a quick dip. Grab a coconut from a beach shack and watch the fishing boats return with their catch.
- Wear flip-flops—the sand gets hot by mid-morning
- Avoid midday; the beach gets packed with tourists and water sports
Anjuna Flea Market (Wednesdays only)
If it’s a Wednesday, don’t miss the Anjuna Flea Market, a 15-minute drive from Baga. This hippie-era staple is a riot of color—think embroidered bags, silver jewelry, and spicy chai. Bargain hard; prices start high. Live music and impromptu dance circles add to the chaos.
- Carry cash—many vendors don’t accept cards
- Try the 'poee' bread sandwiches from street stalls
Sunset at Chapora River
Head to Britto’s or Souza Lobo by the Chapora River for an early dinner. These shacks serve the fresest seafood—think butter garlic crab and prawn balchão. Time it right, and you’ll catch the sun dipping behind the fishing trawlers, painting the river gold.
- Book a table by the water in advance
- Ask for the day’s catch—it’s not always on the menu

Dolphin Spotting at Sinquerim Beach
Head to Sinquerim Beach, just a short ride from Baga, for a morning dolphin-watching trip. Local fishermen take you out on traditional boats, and if you're lucky, you'll spot playful dolphins leaping in the waves. The ride also offers great views of Fort Aguada in the distance.
- Bring sunscreen and a hat—the sun gets strong early
- Negotiate the price with the boat operators beforehand
Lunch at a Local Fish Shack
Skip the touristy beachfront restaurants and try one of the smaller, family-run fish shacks. These places serve the freshest catch of the day—think butter garlic prawns, grilled kingfish, or spicy crab curry. Eat with your hands for the full experience.
- Ask for the 'catch of the day'—it’s usually the best
- Try the Goan fish thali if you want a bit of everything
Afternoon at Tito's Lane
Wander through Tito's Lane in the late afternoon before the party crowd arrives. It’s a great time to shop for quirky souvenirs, sip on a chilled kokum drink, or just people-watch. By evening, the street transforms with live music and buzzing energy.
