If you are high on adrenaline, you should not invest another second in planning a holiday trip to the famous Baga Beach.

Walk up the Baga Hilll to the Bag Retreat House, established and dedicated to St. Francis Xavier in 1953. The path up the hill is marked with the stations of the cross at regular intervals. This solitary path is a favoured trek route among the holidayers and is often promoted as a leisure activity by Goa Tourism during the festive season. The path continues past the retreat house to the other side of the hill, till it comes out at the bustling Flea Market on South Anjuna Beach. A tour through the greens amidst spectacular views enchants the adventurous and the indolent equally.

Indulge into a number of watersports like snorkelling, kayaking, water-skiing, sailing, wind-surfing and fishing to relax in the afternoons. Baga is considered a reasonably safe place to swim, though large waves have been known to drag swimmers out to sea. It is always advisable to swim in the designated areas, where lifeguards are available. This lifeguard facility is an important measure promoted by Goa Tourism. Tourists can also contact a number of water-sport operators on the beach and can go for exhilarating dolphin spotting trips on nearby islands.
