About Anjuna Beach
This special beach at Goa has so much to rave about itself. A shallow
red laterite cliff borders the beach. To the right are terraced Coconut
Plantations. Below the jagged laterite boulders alternate with little
spits of white sands. Azure Water swirls and bubbles between the rocks.
It is beautiful sight-Anjuna Beach.
Plenty of coconut palms surrounds the beach and the the curve of soft
white sand conforms more closely to the consummate vision of heaven. To
the left is the sprawl of restaurants stretching all the way to Anjuna
's world famous market ground, at the extreme southern end of the beach.
Welcome to the undisputed capital of Goa's rave scene. There is surreal
quality about Goa. Anything goes here and all kinds of people
congregate. On that note , Anjuna cannot be described successfully
rather it has to be experienced, preferably on a full moon night, at a
hopping beach party.
Attractions In Anjuna Beach
Anjuna's Sheen Of Silver
The 'freak capital of the world' imparts an ultimate beauty in the form
of silvery waves consistently rushing to embrace the golden sand of the
waves. All along of the beach, restaurants offer a bewildering eclectic
mix of the global cuisines. Shops, stalls and Lamani women sell trinkets
from all over India. Even outside the Wednesday Flea Market, there is
business. Yet, there is a sussegad feel to the place.
Flea Market
Anjuna's Flea Market began in the 1970's as a place where hippies
hocked their possessions when they were either broke or leaving for
home. Revived some eight years ago, Anjuna Flea Market juggled to
survive after a ban by local church authorities. Held on every
Wednesday, the Flea Market at Anjuna appeals a degree than Fish Market.
Number of Kashmiris, Tibetians and Lamani women peddling all kinds of
trinkets and clothes from India. Bargain hard for everything. The market
starts at the noon time and ends at evening. A nice way of getting to
and from the market is the boat. Begin early and there are chances that
you might spot a dolphin greeting you on the way.
Water Freaking Front
