Guide to Raj Bagh

A tranquil oasis in southern Goa blessed with a glorious pink-sand beach, restful Raj Baga is great for getting away from it all.

If you want to step off the world for a while, Raj Baga is your passport to paradise. One of Goa's southernmost beachfront spots, it'll put a grin on your face if you're looking for a quick escape route from those everyday stresses.
A broad, beautiful mass of pink-tinged sand that crumbles under your feet, the beach has a lovely, isolated feel that'll aid your dreams no end. Plump yourself here, muse over the idyllic views over the lush headland and remind yourself you're still in the 21st century. Add the gentle sound of tumbling waves to the scenario and you'll need to remind yourself again.
Away from the sands, the same delicious feeling of remoteness hangs over the peaceful rice fields and coconut groves, only broken by the occasional souvenir stall at the edge of the coastal road. When you're looking to eat out or browse for souvenirs, hop on a bus to nearby Palolem, where a parade of gift shops and restaurants await your custom, along with lots of friendly beach bars. It's a good place to spend a lazy evening. Settle in a waterfront restaurant over a sizzling fish marsala and watch as the sun sinks below the horizon.
Southern Goa's famed for its abundant birdlife – watch for the kingfishers, eagles and other species that dot the skies around Raj Baga. If you want to get closer to nature, take a day out in nearby Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary. Silence and cool greets you here as you stroll through deep, emerald green forests alive with bee-eaters and woodpeckers, making the perfect contrast to the beach.
