What is the trademark of Goa is very well reflected in
Vagator which is one of the most beautiful of the soft white sand beaches
that Goa is famous for. Whenever you see a picture of a beach typically
dotted with palm trees and sea green water with people in water clothes
and having fun in water, you will see all this and much more in the
Vagator beach. This beach is just like one out of a picture postcard. The
inhabited area around this beach is lush green, dotted with coconut palms,
friendly farmhouses and pictorial Portuguese bungalows. On the north-west
corner of the city are the remains of the Chapora
fort. The fort is well preserved and offers some splendid views from its
ramparts. A ten minute walk south of the Big Vagator is Ozran, also
known as 'Little Vagator'. This end of the beach is relatively
secluded and has a row of cafes catering to the tourists who are here
during the day. One going to Goa cannot miss visiting the Vagator beach.
Vagator is a good vacation option for sea enthusiasts. It is an ideal
place for people with small budgets but lots of time with them. It is an
attractive little bay between rocky headlands with a series of small
beaches with shady palms. Chapora Fort is on a hill at the northern end.
Now in ruins, the fort stands on the southern bank old the Chapora River.
It was originally made by Adil Shah. Later on the Mughals and Portuguese
used it. Other beaches
of Goa are equally beautiful and worth a see.
A final note, please treat these lovely beaches as
your backyard and keep them clean. We have lost innumerable natural
resources to our own be.
| Best Time to
Visit |

at any time of the year, but the best time of the year to visit this
