Vegator is one of the beach of many beached in Goa. During our visit to Goa in Feb’20, we visited Vagator Beach as part of North Goa tour. It is located near Chopra Fort. Vagator Beach is split into two main beaches by a seaside cliff. There was enough space for car park, situated at the top, we reached to the beach through steps. The place had many small stalls selling junk jewelries, clothes, soft drinks and snacks, we made some bargain purchases of junk jewelry and souvenir items. The beach was less crowded, spotted several foreign tourists. Beachside also has limited shacks as compared to Baga and Calangute. We spotted some local boys playing cricket on the beach, cows roaming here & there etc. Due to its settings, the beach has a nice view especially from top, however it looks to be slightly laid back and less touristy.

We came across Vagator beach whilst visiting the nearby ruined Portuguese fort on the overlooking hill and it proved to be a good move for an extended lunch with drinks. The beach is sandy and about half a mile long, rocky outcrops at each end with several small bars serving food/drinks in an slightly elevated position, so you have a good view across the whole beach area.
We spent a pleasant couple of hours watching people enjoying the beach/sea as well as some local lads playing cricket in-between several cows strolling wherever they wanted and the local coconut milk sellers dog chasing them away from his maters stall. The water seemed clean with small waves so probably safe bathing and paddling to be had along with a clean sandy shoreline.
It was nothing like as bustling as Baga beach which we had visited the previous evening and much more attractive for bathing or generally just lazing around. We stayed a good hour longer than planned and thoroughly enjoyed our snacks and drinks in the beach bar, of which there are three of four.
A local taxi from our hotel in Arpora (The Park Regis) was around 300 rupees so an affordable day out to a quiet relaxing beach with just enough commercial development to not spoil the tranquillity was very easy to do.

This is a rocky beach. There is a sunset point from which one can watch a beautiful sunset. There are stairs hidden behind the small shops by which you can come down to the beach. The waves are very calm and so makes a good spot for bathing especially for kids. People using four wheelers please cross check with the locals for the parking spot as the maps are a little misleading.

Vagator Beach in North Goa is a goos spot for a peaceful morning stroll. It's overlooking the Arabian Sea, and the views are spectacular. The beach is relatively quiet, with only a few people out for a morning walk. From here you can spot a sunrise over the coconut grooves of hotel W, perfect for a relaxing stroll. The waves are gentle. All in all, Vagator beach is an ideal spot for those looking for a peaceful morning stroll. worth exploring!!

Very beautiful, clean and little less crowded beach near Chapora with good restaurants, pubs and water sports activities. One can go to Chapora Fort from there or climb up the hill to watch sunset. One can enjoy nicely in this shallow beach with open music around.

Full of local tourists who are staring at you, making videos, asking to take a photo of you just because we're white skin. Disgusting. Not to mention the dirt everywhere. In GOA you cannot find trash bin, like anywhere. Everybody just throwing their trash wherever they want.

This is not only review of Vagator beach. We visited many beaches in North Goa: Baga, Candolim, Sinquerim, Anjuna - they are all the same. Overcrowded with local tourists, super dirty with trash everywhere. Surprisingly, the sea is very clean.

The only beach that is not that bad is Morjim. Not so crowded and you can find the space where you are not the only foreign tourist, and where you can feel comfortable to swim in the swimsuit.

One has to walk down a bit to reach the sandy beach . Proper stair case is there , so there is no problem in climbing down right up-to the beach.

Less crowded , water sports available. Restaurant food is quite good here . there are a number of Mediterranean and Indian Cafes/Hotels serving a variety of food and drink.

The tourist traffic is predominantly Western backpackers, however it has also become popular with Indian tourists, who particularly come to watch the sunset from the rocks. The sunset through rocks is breathtaking from Vagator Beach.

This is in my opinion is the best beach in North Goa . View of sunset is Awesome from here .

Beautiful clean beach which has beach shacks serving food and drinks, and sun loungers to relax on. Great spot to view the sunset. Not very crowded, quite a small beach. Only thing we didn't enjoy was there were so many people walking around trying to sell stuff, and asking the same thing multiple times after having been told a stern no.

Beach was clean. It was crowded with few people enjoying football. Water sports were available. Great place to click photos. View from the top is also good. Overall a happening place and must visit. Visited during later afternoon and stayed for the sunset. Nice walk along the beach.

Comparatively less visited beach overlooked by Chapora fort. The water is clean in some places. Beach is clean and maintained. Worth visiting if you are going to Chapora fort. We had a lack luster overpriced lunch in a beach side shack.
