Anjuna Beach

Popular for being a great hangout for the Hippies and Trance Parties, the exotic Anjuna Beach is an exciting cultural hub where traditions, ideas, music and art of the east meet. Explored by some travelers in between the later years of the 1950s and the mid 1960s, the breathtaking Anjuna Beach also started hosting beach parties in the dry months. This beach in Goa is a really thrilling venue for the vacationers in Goa, this popular tourist destination in India being pampered by the tranquil waters of the fascinating Arabian Sea and made alive with the stimulating night parties and the bustling flea market on the Wednesdays.
