Anjuna Beach has the dubious title of being the freak capital of the world. In the 1950’s and subsequently the 1960’s travelers discovered this Goa beach and began to meet on a regularbasis to hold trance parties.

The psychedelic scene that emerged made Anjuna one of the most popular beaches in Goa for some time.

While the reputation of Anjuna has changed slightly in recent years, its popularity has far from dwindled.

As well as proving to be an ever-popular Goa beach with vacationers lookin for a lazy time, the party scene still lives on during certain times of the year.

Scenes of night long partying with beach fires and alcohol are commonplace, especially arranged four young tourists. These parties are called full moon or acid house parties.

As well as the full moon parties, Anjuna offers visitors the splendor of the Mascarenhas mansion famed for its exquisite stained glass windows and expensive wooden seating.

On Wednesdays this Goa beach comes alive thanks to the flea market. Anything you could possibly want can be found at the flea market and there are plenty of vacation bargains to be found.

Anjuna, like many of the more popular beaches in Goa, is well populated by restaurants, bars, shops and other amenities. In most cases these are directly on the beach.

Accommodation is also usually easy to find although if you are visiting during a full moon party you may find it slightly more difficult to find a vacancy.

Beaches in Goa find themselves packed with tourists between the months of November and February because of their clement climate.
