Vagator

Adjoining the famous Anjuna beach, Vagator is a little more laid back, though still pretty much steeped in the rave culture.
Scooters can be rented for Rs. 250 a day. Anywhere and everywhere you will find people trying to rent you their scooter. If you like a bike, a 350 CC Enfield would cost you Rs. 500 a day ( kick starting one of these can be an experience, learn how to do it frm the owner if you want to rent one. The recoil from the kick can break your leg ) . This is the best way to see Goa, you can go where ever you want. And getting around is easy, locals are very helpful just pull over and ask someone. In case of a taxi, going anyplace the taxi drivers will start quoting from Rs. 250 to 400. Have to bargain. Bargain on anything you buy at the street vendors and people on the beach ( stuff on the streets, pay 50% of quoted price ) .

Things to Do

If you are looking for place where a lot of young crowd is attracted and great places to party, then you should try living in South Anjuna), or another popular place is Little Vagator ( there is also a ‘big vagator’ close to it, just in case you do not find accommodation.

• Little Vagator has a Goa trance party every night from 7 to 10 at Nine Bar, close to the beach. Good music, cheap booze. People start here and then to other places, if they are living in Vagator.
• Wednesday, there is a party at Paridiso @ Anjuna. Also after the flee market that closes at sunset, there are some nice vibes at a bar at the end towards the beach. Live bands playing fusion music.
• Thursdays , Curlies @ south anjuna. Amazing party on the beach. ( I doubt if u will find a taxi back from here, take your bike and follow the herd).
• Friday, Saturday.. don’t knw. But surely by now you met ppl who can tell you where the next destination is.
• Every Sunday there is a party in Saligoa, 18 miles interior. This party goes on for 24 hours with DJs from all parts of the world play.

What to buy

In Vagator, you can find a 24 hour restaurant/convenience store/chill out called Robert's place near Primrose. Since 2003, a flea market is organised here every Wednesday, though it is yet to make an impression like the ones in Anjuna or Arpora.
The Saturday night flea market in Arpora, organised by a German since early nineties, is by far the largest and most vibrant flea market in North Goa. There is also a sizeable performance area which promotes local talent.
