Anjuna Beach
The
Anjuna band plays for the beach party at night. Palm trees stand motionless in
the warm air. To the east is a mountain. If you want to return to civilization,
climb the mountain to get to Baga where you can catch a ferry out.This is the
Goa Freak capital of the World.
Anjuna, 18 kms from Panaji is a popular
beach area adjacent to Chapora fort- it was the haunt of the flower generation
in the sixties - and is still popular with the younger generation. In Anjuna there
is magnificent Albuquerque mansion built in 1920, flanked by octagonal towers
and attractive Mangalore tiled-roof.
Anjuna becomes a fair of colors.
Lines of vehicles full of tourists start virtually raising clouds of dust in this
area. Anjuna attracts a weird and wonderful collection of over monks, defiant
ex-hippies, gentle lunatics, artists, artisans, seers, searchers, sybarites and
itinerant expatriates who normally wouldn't be seen out of the organic confines
of their health-food emporia in San Francisco or London.
Full moon, when
the infamous parties take place, is a particularly good time to be here if you
want to indulge in bacchanalian delights. Only a Brit would think about raving
about the main beach, but it's worth the walk to the small, protected sliver of
sand at South Anjuna where the area's long-term house-renters tend together.
