Vagator Beach

Vagator Beach
The Vagator is one of the most beautiful beaches in North Goa in the Bardez taluka. Twenty-one kilometres and just about a half an hour’s drive from Panaji the beach itself is made of two beaches- Ozran and Tambduki. Vagator has a tranquil coastline with white sands and azure water. There are cliffs with red soil and palm trees. The rocky and secluded beach is known for its rave culture. Previously frequented by foreigners, it is now popular with Indian tourists too.

If you prefer the quiet and seclusion to the crowd, the Vagator beach is perfect for you. You can watch the sun set over the beach from the rocks or lay down your blanket and have a picnic lunch with your loved one. The beach is also perfect for a quiet evening walk, with the calm only broken by waves crashing over the rocks or a seagull quacking overhead.
Also known for the hippie culture, the beach is home to rave parties. The Sunburn festival recently shifted its venue to this beach.
There are small stalls near to the beach that sell everything- from ‘I love Goa’ T-shirts to ornaments, local handicrafts and Goa memorabilia that you can take home. You can grab a snack from the various small eateries and cafes.

The beach offers a perfect mix of the sea and greenery. The white sands and the azure water perfectly complement the green cliffs on the other side of the beach. The rocky beach is isolated and devoid of commotion and is one of the best places to enjoy the sunset.

Built in 1555, the church has a brightly painted portico visible from across the river. Two former Viceroys of Goa were buried in this church. Franciscan friars, who were in charge of missionary work for the area, took reins of the church and founded a small seminary here. The highlight of the bright and extraordinary interiors of the church is the multihued wooden ceiling depicting the Three Wise Men bearing gifts to Baby Jesus, which is the focus of the intricately carved and painted reredos behind the high altar.
