GOA : Calangute Beach
The Vibe:The queen of beaches, and it knows it.
Long known as the queen of Goa's beaches, this is the most developed stretch on the coast. It runs continuously into Baga at its northern end.
Sunbeds run in unbroken lines and vendors work between them. The sand widens considerably at low tide, and the crowd thins sharply toward the southern end.
