Anjuna Beach

Anjuna, 18 kms from Panaji is a popular beach area adjacent to Chapora fort-
it was the haunt of the flower generation in the sixties - and is still
popular with the younger generation.
In Anjuna there is magnificent Albuquerque mansion built in 1920, flanked
by octagonal towers and attractive Mangalore tiled-roof.
The Anjuna band plays for the beach party at night. Palm trees stand motionless
in the warm air. To the east is a mountain. If you want to return to civilization,
climb the mountain to get to Baga where you can catch a ferry out.
This is the Goa Freak capital of the World. Anjuna becomes a fair
of colors. Lines of vehicles full of tourists start virtually raising clouds
of dust in this area.
Anjuna attracts a weird and wonderful collection of over monks, defiant
ex-hippies, gentle lunatics, artists, artisans, seers, searchers, sybarites
and itinerant expatriates who normally wouldn't be seen out of the organic
confines of their health-food emporia in San Francisco or London.
Full moon, when the infamous parties take place, is a particularly good
time to be here if you want to indulge in bacchanalian delights.
Only a Brit would think about raving about the main beach, but it's worth
the walk to the small, protected sliver of sand at South Anjuna where the
area's long-term house-renters tend to gather.
