Anjuna beach is a favourite haunt of the hippies who used to conduct the
famous rave beach parties. It was in the late 1950s to mid-1960s that
hippies started visiting Anjuna beach to drown in their trance music with
just loneliness for company. It is the hippies who started these rave
beach parties wherein they would sing and dance through out the night
under the vast blue sky lit only by the moonlight.
Best time to visit
The tourist season in Anjuna starts in early November, when most
of the long staying regulars show up. During the Christmas and New Year
rush, the village and beach site is busy with a mixed crowd of round the
world backpackers and tourists from all over India, attracted by the promise
of the big beach parties.

sea food. All serve cold beer. The German bakery, White Negro, Sea
breeze cafe, Martha's breakfast home, Friends corner are some of them.
