Vagator Beach
Goa's Vagator Beach which is one of the most beautiful of the soft golden 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 swimming suit 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.
Vagator is 22 kms from Panaji. It is a popular beach dominated by Chapora Fort
to the north, on its imposing head land and popularly known as 'The Sun Kissing
Beach'. To the south of vagator is Calangute beach.
The skirt area of the 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 who visits Goa cannot miss the Vagator beach. Vagator is a fine 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 It was originally made by Adil Shah.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.
