The beachside shacks at both Calangute and Baga serve the freshest and most delicious seafood.
Afternoon: Take a moment to enjoy the most incredible ocean view from the Chapora Fort. Later, you can dine at any of the cafes there. Since the fort was one of the locations for the movie “Dil Chahta Hai, ” which is set in Goa, it gives you the same feeling as the movie.
Evening/Night: Vagator is an ideal spot if you want to enjoy a vibrant nightlife scene. Hammerzz Night Club is definitely one of the best places where you can have fun during your nightlife in North Goa. With world-class DJs, a stylish setting, and lively entertainment, the club is a perfect reflection of the Goa party culture, which was popular long before.
