Anjuna Beach
Anjuna Beach is one of north Goa's best-known beaches, historically associated with the hippie trail of the 1960s-70s and still carrying a laid-back, alternative reputation, though it's now considerably more developed with beach shacks, cafes, and nightlife than its counterculture origins. The Wednesday flea market is one of Goa's most famous shopping experiences, a sprawling market selling everything from clothing to trinkets to food, drawing both tourists and local vendors.
The beach itself has a mix of rocky and sandy stretches and a more bohemian, less polished feel than some of Goa's other beaches, and it remains a hub for Goa's trance/electronic music party scene, especially around New Year's and peak season.
