Goa is synonymous with beaches. One of the best ones in the area is Calangute Beach, located just 1 kilometer from our hotel. With 10 kilometers of golden sands that shimmer in the sunlight and stars that compete at night, there is no other place quite like it. The Calangute stretches into the Baga Beach in one contiguous flow, with the Baga Brook flowing into it. Baga Beach is a great place to enjoy parasailing, dolphin watching or other water-sport activities. Take some time out of your trip to explore all the gorgeous beaches of North Goa.
Step into history at one of the many forts throughout Goa. One of the most popular is the attractive Aguada Fort, built by the Portuguese to protect Goa against the Marathas and the Dutch. Located in the beach of Sinquerim just 12 kilometers from Panaji, this fort was not conquered in 450 years of colonial rule. There are plenty of other forts to explore in Goa, so visit each one to learn about its unique charm and story.
