About Baga beach in Goa
The Baga beach lies in the rocky wooded headland and the main difference between the Calangute beach at the far end and the Baga beach is that, the scenery of the beach is varied, beautiful and unspoiled.
Baga Beach is the choice for the tourists and other local visitors who would like some time for themselves and their families , or some time in solitude and wants to be away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds found on the other popular beaches of Goa. Baga Beach is the best place to spend some time in solitude, some quiet moments alone with your own thoughts etc. 
What is there for tourists
Baga Beach is more than a fishing beach or village that many tourists from all over come in here for the big catch. Baga river flows on one side of the beach allowing the kids who would love to play in the water but are afraid to put their feet in the moving waves. They can play safely in the river water. You can see black rocks near the area where the sea and the river meet together.

The nearest airport, if you are travelling by air, is Dabolim airport of Goa. Dabolim is about 29 kilometers from Baga Beach.
The nearest railway station is Panaji, if you are travelling by rail. Panaji is 11 kilometers away from the Baga Beach. Panaji is just half an hour's drive away from Calangute .
There are frequent buses travelling from Mapusa to Panaji and vice versa. Most buses from Panaji terminate at Calangute and a few comes further to Baga. Mapusa is just about 10 minutes drive from Baga and you can also get auto rickshaws as well as cabs.
One of the biggest problems in the Baga beach is, the local people who stare at the tourists, especially at the foreign female tourists who dress according to their culture. When the foreigners dress according to their comfort and culture, many Indian visits keep staring at them as if they are nude. I have seen some local tourists saying they came looking for a nude beach in Goa and are disappointed. What a pity! I am glad there are no nude beaches in Goa.
