Sandwiched
in between another two of Goa's picturesque beaches, Anjuna is regarded as
the hot and happening beach of Goa. There is much more to Anjuna other than
the spectacular sight of white waves rushing in to embrace the yellow sand
of the beaches. The beach is located on the northern coastline of Goa by the
side of the Arabian sea. Palm trees dot most of the Anjuna landscape.

The airport nearest to Anjuna beach is Dabolim at a distance of 47 kms. The
nearest railway station is Karmali at a distance of 29 kms. Located only 18
kms from Goa's capital of Panaji, regular buses, two and four wheeler taxis

Anjuna's accommodation choices fits the purse of all income groups.
Beach Attractions
The Wild Parties
Anjuna is one of those few Indian beaches where partying is a regular
feature. A beach with a reputation of kill-joy attitude, Anjuna's big
parties during the Christmas-New Year period draw lots of fun lovers. Anjuna
always goes wild during the full moon parties. The night life normally
centres round the Shore Bar in the middle of the beach. With a pounding
sound system playing some funky music at all times, the atmosphere in Anjuna
is always alive and kicking. Complementing the festive atmosphere are the
Guru Bar and Primrose Cafe.
The Anjuna Eateries

If
wild partying at Anjuna is a perennial sight, eating and drinking cannot be
far behind. The beach front and village at Anjuna are full of big and small
restaurants. Most of them are simply open air, adding another diversity to
Anjuna. The specialisations are seafood and western delicacies. Readily
available are cold beer and rare Goan wines. Fresh fruits like watermelons,
pineapples and coconuts also satisfy the taste buds.
The Anjuna Flea Market
The flea market of Anjuna is very popular among the tourists. A variety of
items including fresh fruits, decoratives and clothes are available in the
market. A boat service on certain days of the week from Baga beach to Anjuna
flea market is also very popular.
The Sunset and Moonlight
The saying goes that Anjuna never sleeps. If tired of shopping and
partying, just lie down on the beach in the evening and watch the majestic
view of the sun dripping down the sea. And as the moonlight replaces
sunlight, take a long walk on the soft silver sands with the moonlight
caressing your body all along the way. For those who believe in enjoying
life to the hilt, a visit to Anjuna would be worth a lot.
