About Calangute Beach
The exquisite beauty of the Calangute beach in India's Goa soon spread around, bringing hordes of European tourists. Calangute was once the beach Goa was most widely known for, although one or two of other beaches in Goa have now taken that mantle.

There are picturesque agors (saltpans) at Agarvaddo, Maddavaddo is full of madd (coconut trees), Dongorpur skirts a bottle-green hillock and Tivaivaddo laces the beach. Goa's Calangute seems to be a distortion of the local vernacular word-'Koli-gutti', which means land of fishermen. At the Calangute beach you must check out the Saturday bazaar for some good bargains. Tourists come down to this small Indian state of Goa searching for this lovely beach. Nighttime is quite a different story as the hippies and modern travelers party throughout the night. The swaying palm tress and the picturesque saltpans add to the beauty of nature on the shores of the Arabian Sea.
