1. Vagator Beach
INTRODUCTION
The soft white sands, the black lava rocks, the coconut palms, the lush green landscape, nature playing
its own music, and the sea turning from aquamarine to emerald green. Vagator and Chapora,
overlooked by the 500-year-old Portuguese fort, leaves each visitor awestruck. Yet to be disturbed by
the hustle and bustle of tourists, life goes on peacefully, in the background, in Vagator and Chapora. The
world-famous Anjuna Beach lies to the south of Vagator.
LOCATION
Located in North Goa, Vagator and Chapora are 24 km from Panaji, the capital of the Indian state of Goa.

KEY ATTRACTIONS
Chapora Fort
Hiking up, the lava-bedecked black rock stepping-stones lead to the 500-year-old Portuguese fort,
popularly known as the Chapora Fort. It utters the reminiscence of the old Portuguese times giving a
splendid view of the sea and hills covered with coconut trees and rice fields. The remaining battlements
and fortifications take one down the memory lane, into the times when Royalty ruled the Vagator hue.
Rural Life
The gentle lapping seawater changing colors from aquamarine to sea emerald, the tiny cottages with
gardens garlanded by colors of lemon, purple and fuchsia, flags and crosses take one on a honeymoon
fantasy.
Life goes on peacefully in Chapora: with salty fishermen carrying home their heavy fishing nets and kids
playing among the dry docked boats. A bare feet stroll on the beach with the mesmerizing warm setting
sun and the gentle breeze carrying little drops of the salty water from the sea; it. s a dream come true.
An unknown visitor has carved out a human face on the rocks, near the Vagator Beach, making it an
ideal background for a snapshot pose.
