sea, the beach on your right is the Big Vagator Beach or North Vagator Beach.

makes the stalls and everything in Goa a bit pricey but there are many clubs
that are still worth a visit for a nice time dancing to trance and psychedelic
music played by digital jockeys who come from all around the world mainly for
the very popular Sunburn Festival. A part of Vagator Beach,
known as Disco Valley, is the best place for trance parties in Goa since 1980s.
