Goa has now succumbed to massed charter flights, importing 1.5 million packaged
people a year and cramming them into hundreds of cement blocks adjacent to what used to be fine beaches.
Calangute, Baga and other beaches near Goa's Dabolim airport are doing an Indian version of the Costa del Sol, trashing low-impact tourism and local culture in favour of the concrete dollar; perhaps the greed and corruption that has led to the concrete coastline of Spain's Costas collapsing in financial ruin will slow the pace in Goa before it's too late.
Anjuna beach's famous 'hippy' market, north-central Goa.
Anjuna market.
Isolated pockets of peace and harmony can be found in central Goa -
at a price - but for more solitude head far north to the Chapora River area, such as Arambol beach, where
Goa crowds thin out and beaches thicken, or far south to Palolem beach.
Anjuna beach is still raving, colourful and frantic with neo hippie
action tho' package tourism has grabbed it by the throat and strangled the creativity and tranquility out of it, while Morjim [aka Turtle] beach
is more tranquil, Mandrem is eerily quiet and Querim in the far north
of Goa is positively deserted, apart from the odd hut, hammock and itinerant
ice-cream boy...
