Anjuna:
Anjuna, 18 kms from Panaji is a popular beach area adjacent to Chapora fort, it is very popular with the younger generation, so dont be surprised to see groups of students arrive in buses here!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. Palm trees 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 the World. 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, and the like. Full moon, when the infamous parties take place, is a particularly good time to be here if you want to indulge in bacchanalian delights. otherwise also you can indlge in some parasailing or just settle in the beach restaurant with some wine for a nice romantic candle light dinner!

Only a Brit would think about raving about the main beach, but it's worth the walk to the small, protected sliver of sand at South Anjuna where the area's long-term house-renters tend to gather.

This is the party beach of Goa, and also the most visited. The beach itself is just about ok, but the backdrop and more importantly, the interesting group of pleasure seekers is what makes it perhaps the most charming beach of Goa.

The village of Anjuna is a five square mile area nestling between the Arabian Sea and the hill overlooking the palm-fringed beach. Unusual black rock formations overlay a cove of white sand, jutting into the Sea.
