18 km north of Panaji. Part of the 30 km coastline stretch of Northern Beaches of Goa that covers the most popular hotspots of Goa and India tourism.

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.

It attracts an eclectic bunch of tourists always creating interesting ways to liven up their Goa holiday and India experience. During the day there's constant flow of two wheelers with day-trippers. Hippies, artists, the eccentric, those seeking lubricious or simple pleasures, or those just seeking themselves; they're all attracted here. During season, and beyond it this party beach of Goa lives upto its name with music and carnivorous revelry that raves on till early mornings. Moonlit nights are favorites to bring out the party animals, and parties dot the Goa beach-line here, all the way to Vagator. Most travelers feel that their Goa travel is incomplete without attending atleast one of these delightful Goa beach parties. 

Anjuna is also well known as place with the largest number of long-term house-renters. And one of the most interesting places in one of the most stimulating beaches of Goa is the small, sheltered sliver of sand at South Anjuna where those on an extended Goa holiday gather regularly.

Anjuna is also famous for the Wednesday flea market, a landmark tradition of Goa tourism. The market has its origins in foreigners on a Goa holiday selling their possessions to get money to carry on their travel in Goa or India, or to get back home. Now its metamorphosed into much more, an extremely popular market for a wide melange of products & services; ethnic stuff, handicrafts, clothes, henna tattoos, haircuts, et al. Sometimes it's so crowded that it seems that everybody on a Goa holiday has congregated here.

The exhilaration of Bungee Jumping from an 80-ft tower and water-sports facilities like paragliding and windsurfing enhance the fun of your Goa holiday trip at Anjuna experience.

Quite naturally, Anjuna has an eclectic choice of exceptional restaurants, bars and bakeries serving fascinating dishes, snacks and beverages from Goa, India and the Globe to cater to special cravings. Exotica and Vegetarian cuisine is a particular specialty. 

Reflecting its reputation as the favorite place for long-term renters, Anjuna has some of the best options for good value apartment hotels in Goa.
