Spirits Unplugged, Anjuna – North Goa

Anjuna – North Goa

Anjuna is a laid-back coastal village located 18 kilometers from Panaji on the Arabian sea in North Goa. The Anjuna Beach with swaying palm trees and unusual rocky formations, is one of the popular beaches in Goa and has an inflow of tourists throughout the year. It has a rich past of hippie culture. However, this beach that stretches almost 2 km is also popular amongst families and water sports lovers. It also hosts trance parties. It is also famous for the flea market every wednesday. The flea market is a heaven for shoppers; you get everything here from wonderful blends of Tibetan, Kashmiri and Gujarati trinkets and handicrafts to European snacks, cassettes of a noisy brand of music called ‘Goa Trance’, artificial ornaments, carvings and T-shirts.   

Dabolim International Airport is 45 km, Thivim Railway Station is 18.5 km and Vasco Da Gama Railway station is 46 km from here. Regular road service is also available from Mumbai.
