 One
of the most gorgeous and popular beaches in Goa, Anjuna is
located at distance of about 18 km from Panaji. It is a small
yet beautiful beach tucked beneath a red laterite cliff, encircled
by palm trees on one side and the gentle waves of the Arabian
Sea on the other. Anjuna is a picture perfect utopic getaway-
the archetypical tropical beach featuring soft sands, coconut
palms, cool drinks and placid seas. Looking beyond its breathtaking
beauty, Anjuna Beach has much more to offer in terms of its
attractions, the Anjuna Market of Goa being one of them.
