Vagator and Chapora Beach
.........................................................................................

A series of rusty cliffs and headlands bursting out of thickets of greenery help to give Vagator and charming Chapora one of the prettiest setting on the north Goan coast. It is this backdrop, rather than the beaches (which are largely forgettable) that have made these two little villages, the centre for the wild, outdoor parties. Large contingents of long-stay backpackers and party people religiously set up camp here for months on end every season.

 

Vagator Beach
Vagator is a popular beach dominated by Chapora fort at the northern end. There are three small cove beaches at Vagator backed by a rocky headland. The water is often murky. The attraction of Vagator is the huge party scene, dominated by Europeans and Israelis, rather than beaches, which cannot be described as Goa’s prettiest.

Chapora Beach

The Chapora River, spanned by the Siolim Bridge, is a magical ribbon

Vagator Beach Goa

dividing the mainly devastated beaches of charter and techno Goa from the gorgeous greens and tropical blues of a more undisturbed Goa of old to the north. Lovely Chapora is generally more popular with long staying hardcore hippies and trance heads than Vagator and only has a couple of official hotels, both of which are highly basic.

Other Attractions in Vagator Beach

Portuguese Fort

On the rocky headland separating Vagator from Chapora sits a ruined Portuguese fort dating from 1617. Its worth climbing up here, from the Vagator beach for the coastal views.

How to reach Vagator and Chapora Beach
