Geography & terrain

Anjuna lies on Goa's north coast between Vagator and Baga — a beach village of cliffs, rocky shore and palm groves, its Wednesday flea market and the famous beachfront below the old Portuguese church of the village.

History & culture

Anjuna's modern fame runs from the 1960s when the hippie trail settled on its beach — the drum circles and the trance scene that grew from those years; the village's older layer is the Portuguese era's — the 16th-century church, the ruined customs house and the old Brahmin families of the village's first lanes.
