Geography & terrain

Vagator lies in the North Goa district of Goa, 20 km from Panaji and 2 km from Anjuna — the cliff beach of the region, its red laterite cliffs, the sands and the sunsets set on the Chapora river's mouth.

History & culture

The beach's story runs with the 1960s era — the cliff beach of the 1960s-era bohemian life and the 16th-century-era Chapora fort of the Portuguese era, with the beach's modern role as the party stop of the Goa circuit and the home of the 16th-century-era fort and the cliffs and the 1990s-era trance life; the beach's history of the 2000s-era sunset decks and the sands, gives Vagator its cliff character.
