Calangute Beach

The Calangute Beach, located near Panjim, is famous for being the first beach to inculcate and prosper the hippie culture in the 60's and 70's. The hippies were edged out slowly as the mainstream tourists started to flock Goa in search of peace and enjoyments of a tourist place.

Though the beach is very popular and crowded, the long stretch available to tourists to Goa ensures that everybody gets a place of his own in the crowd. Apart from the regular beach activities, Calangute is also famous for its rave parties which go on for hours, and days sometimes, while the party gang moves from place to place searching for enjoyment.
