2 Days in Baga for a Solo Beach Escape

Baga is the perfect spot for solo travelers looking to unwind by the beach, enjoy great food, and meet fellow wanderers. It's lively but not overwhelming, with a mix of relaxation and fun. I've spent many evenings here watching the sunset with a fresh coconut in hand, and it never gets old.
