Anjuna Beach, Goa

Anjuna, 18 kms from Panaji is a popular beach area adjacent to Chapora fort- it was the haunt of the flower generation in the sixties - and is still popular with the younger generation.

In Anjuna there is magnificent Albuquerque mansion built in 1920, flanked by octagonal towers and attractive Mangalore tiled-roof.

The Anjuna band plays for the beach party at night. Palmtrees stand motionless in the warm air. To the east is a mountain. If you want to return to civilization, climb the mountain to get to Baga where you can catch a ferry out.

This is the Goa Freak capital of theWorld. Anjuna becomes a fair of colors. Lines of vehicles full of tourists start virtually raising clouds of dust in this area.

Anjuna attracts a weird and wonderful collection of over monks, defiant ex-hippies, gentle lunatics, artists, artisans, seers, searchers, sybarites and itinerant expatriates who normally wouldn't be seen out of the organic confines of their health-food emporia in San Francisco or London.

Full moon, when the in famous parties take place, is a particularly good time to be here if you want to indulge in bacchanalian delights. Only a Brit would think about raving about the main beach, but it's worththe walk to the small, protected sliver of sand at South Anjuna where the area's long-term house-renters tend to gather.
