Vagator beach at the north end of the Calangute beach attained popularity because of its seclusion. This beautiful beach, lined with coconut groves and palm trees is located at Bardez taluk, around 22 Km north of Panaji and 9kms from Mapusa. The beauty of the beach is further enhanced by the Chapora Fort which makes the entrance to the bay. Here one can witness the seawater changing colors from aquamarine to emerald and the Goan fishermen in their traditional attire getting ready to venture into the sea or coming back with their day's catch. Situated close to the Anjuna beach, the picturesque Vagator beach is a favourite venue for mid night parties during the tourist season.
