How to spend a day at Calangute Beach
- Morning: arrive around 8:00 to walk the beach before it fills in.
- Late morning: book a water-sports session — compare operators and agree the full price first.
- Lunch: look for a beach-shack seafood platter, grilled kingfish or prawns.
- Afternoon: browse the nearby shops and cafés if you want a break from the sand.
- Sunset: expect company — this is Goa's most visited beach, even at dusk.
What to carry
- Cash for shacks and vendors
- Sun protection
- Patience for crowds
