Day 1
Day 1 in Vagator
Kick off your Vagator adventure with its iconic beaches, vibrant vibes, and delicious Goan flavors. Today is all about soaking in the sun, exploring the coastline, and ending with a stunning sunset.
Activities
Morning at Vagator Beach
Start your day at Vagator Beach, known for its golden sands, red cliffs, and laid-back atmosphere. The beach is split into Big Vagator and Little Vagator (Ozran Beach), both offering stunning views. Walk along the shore, dip your toes in the water, or just relax under a beach umbrella. The dramatic cliffs make for great photos, especially in the soft morning light.
- Bring water and sunscreen—shade is limited.
- Little Vagator is quieter if you prefer fewer crowds.
Explore Chapora Fort
Head to Chapora Fort, a short hike from Vagator Beach. Made famous by the movie 'Dil Chahta Hai,' this 17th-century Portuguese fort offers panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and Chapora River. The ruins are minimal, but the vistas are worth the climb. It’s especially scenic in the late morning light.
- Wear comfortable shoes—the path is rocky.
- Carry a hat and water—there’s no shade up top.
Sunset at Anjuna Flea Market (if Wednesday) or Shiva Valley
If it’s Wednesday, don’t miss the Anjuna Flea Market (just 10 minutes from Vagator), where you can shop for hippie clothes, jewelry, and souvenirs while soaking in the bohemian vibe. Otherwise, head to Shiva Valley, a cliffside spot near Little Vagator, for a chilled-out sunset with live music and cheap beers. The view of the sun dipping into the sea is magical.
- Bargain hard at the flea market—prices are inflated for tourists.
- Shiva Valley gets crowded—arrive early to grab a good spot.

Day 2
Day 2 in Vagator
A mix of relaxation, local flavors, and a bit of adventure to round off your time in Vagator. Today’s about soaking in the Goan vibe at a slower pace.
Activities
Morning at Ozran Beach (Little Vagator)
Just a short walk from Vagator Beach, Ozran Beach (often called Little Vagator) is quieter and more laid-back. The rocky outcrops and soft sand make it perfect for a peaceful morning. Grab a coconut from a beach shack and watch the fishermen bring in their catch.
- Wear sturdy sandals—the rocks can be slippery.
- The shacks here serve fresh seafood if you want an early lunch.
Lunch at Pousada by the Beach
A hidden gem near Ozran Beach, Pousada offers Goan-Portuguese fusion food in a cozy, garden setting. Try their pork vindaloo or fish curry rice plate. The ambiance is relaxed, with hammocks and sea views.
- Ask for a table under the trees—it’s shadier and breezier.
- Their kokum cooler is a great thirst-quencher.
Sunset at Nine Bar
Perched on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea, Nine Bar is Vagator’s iconic sunset spot. The open-air setup, reggae music, and chilled-out crowd make it the perfect place to end your trip. Sip on a feni cocktail or a King’s beer while the sky turns orange.
- Get there early to snag a front-row seat.
- Cash-only, so bring enough rupees.
