Many seaside destinations have their preferred beaches, and Goa is no exception to this. If you research what people think of the beaches in Goa, you’ll find one name cropping up over and over again. That name is Vagator Beach.

So what makes Vagator Beach worth visiting?

For starters it is not the kind of area which caters heavily to tourists. You will be well looked after here, for sure, but you shouldn’t expect purpose built shopping centres and other such built up offerings. But that is one of the reasons why Vagator Beach is so popular.

It also has a particular sight that may make you look twice when you head down to the beach. This rocky area has a face waiting to greet you, a face by the water’s edge which seems smiling and peaceful. No one seems to know who carved the face out of the rock which sits there, but it certainly provides a good talking point and many a tourist has taken a photo of it to take back home with them.

While the beach does have rocky areas don’t let this put you off paying a visit. It also has plenty of sandy stretches to lie back and relax on, making it a wonderful beach to visit for a lazy day in Goa. There is also a shack nearby that serves food and drink throughout the day, so when lunch time arrives you won’t have to travel far for a bite to eat. And there is certainly no better place to tuck into your choice of replenishment than on Vagator Beach itself.

You will actually see when you arrive that the beach is split into two main sections. One is bigger than the other and this is why it is now known as Big Vagator Beach and Little Vagator Beach. Common sense will tell you which is which! But they both have something to offer the eager tourist, so be sure you take a closer look at both of them during your holiday in Goa.

As beaches go, Vagator Beach is one of the best ones you could choose.
