Goa is a paradise for all those who loves to travel. Goa is full of beaches but still every beach has its own taste and soul. Some beaches are to relax where as some for party. Even if you like both then also you wont be disappointed. From our Goa diaries we will tell you about Anjuna Beach.
Anjuna: Paradise of Backpackers and Hostels
Anjuna beach in Goa is known as a 'Beach of youngsters'. Anjuna is total paradise for backpackers with dozens of hostels to live and remember your old bachelor days. You can stay in hotels also but I would suggest that if you are travelling alone or with friends then do stay in hostel and experience that life. There are so many good hostels in Anjuna like Lazy Llama, Red Door, Hoping Frog etc where you can stay in cheap priced bunk beds (as low as Rs. 300/bed), chat around with travelers from all over the world, share experiences, make food by yourself in common kitchen and chill at night in common space. It will be a different experience altogether.
Beware of Drugs- NO TO DRUGS
Caution: for all my readers. Anjuna is full of drugs so just be extra careful and say a big NO to drugs. Be it hostels, shacks, parties, beach everywhere you will find people using drugs. They can be locals, foreigners, Indians anyone. Try to avoid taking cigarette, drinks etc from strangers, it might contain drugs. You are there to enjoy your life not to spoil it, so just beware of drugs.
Rocky Beach- Anjuna
One biggest drawback of Anjuna beach is that it is a rocky beach. Which means within 4 to 6 ft of sea water length you will find pointed rock beneath it and you wont be able to play or swim in water. You can just walk in water, enjoy some water sport and enjoy on sun bed. So, if you love to relax on sun bed with your favorite drinks then you are going to enjoy a lot.
Shacks and Sun bed
Anjuna beach is also known for its shacks. You will find many sea facing shacks along with beach. You can take any sun bed and relax there for the whole day. The only condition is that you will have to order drinks or food from the same shack whose sun bed you are using. Although this is not a big deal as you are there to enjoy so you can easily order food, drinks (which are very cheap in Goa) and take sun bath on sun bed.
Anjuna Flea Market
Anjuna, is also known for its famous flea market. This market is operational on every Wednesday and you can purchase lot many things from here. From local specialty to all type of products from all over India. Cloths, shoes, leather etc all are easily available in this market. Although remember to bargain a lot, you can easily get any product on 60% cheaper rate after bargaining.
Shiva Valley Night Party
When you are in Goa then how can you miss nightlife of Goa. Anjuna is also a nightlife place where almost all the shacks organize parties once in a week. But the most popular, happening party is Shiva Valley Night Party which is organized every Tuesday on the beach. This party starts around 11 PM and continues till 5 in the morning. This party is full of drinks, dance, food and what not. It is said that if you are in Goa then Shiva Valley Party is a must place to go.
Caution: Be careful from drugs and dont take any food, drinks etc from strangers it might have drugs.
Anjuna is mixture of relax and party life. This is more like a place for bachelors or solo travellers. But if you are going to Goa then you cant afford to miss place like Anjuna.
