Anjuna, a coastal village in North Goa, has transformed from a 1960s hippie haven to a lively destination blending its bohemian past with modern tourism. It's an area defined by its iconic Wednesday Flea Market and a beach known for both rocky outcrops and soft sands. Anjuna appeals to those seeking vibrant beach life, a dose of nightlife, diverse culinary experiences, and a touch of Goan village charm. It’s memorable for its evolving personality, where a chill cafe culture coexists with the remnants of its trance party legacy.

Travel Tips
Bargaining is expected at the Anjuna Flea Market. Vendors often quote higher prices initially, especially to tourists, so be prepared to negotiate for a fair deal.
Carry sufficient cash when visiting the Anjuna Flea Market, as many smaller vendors may not have digital payment options. ATMs are available in the main village area.
If traveling from Tivim Railway Station to Anjuna, be aware that direct bus services are rare. You will likely need to take a local bus or taxi to Mapusa first, and then transfer to another bus or taxi for Anjuna.
Parking around the Anjuna Flea Market and beach areas can be challenging and crowded, especially for cars. Renting a scooter is often a more convenient way to get around and find parking.
Restrictions
Water sports activities on Anjuna Beach are largely seasonal and typically close down during the monsoon months (June to September) due to rough sea conditions and safety concerns.
