Boring People Go to Beaches – Here’s What Cool People Do in Goa
Let’s get one thing straight — if all you're doing in Goa city is baking on Baga and sipping overpriced cocktails, you’re doing it wrong, bro! Goa is more than beaches and sunburns. It's a full-blown vibe, and the cool folks know exactly where to head when the shacks get too “touristy.”
So ditch that basic beach towel and come find out what the real scene in Goa looks like.
1. Wake up with Yoga, not Hangovers
While others are nursing hangovers, the susegad squad is already on their yoga mats near Arambol Lake or early-morning jungle studios. Goa’s wellness culture is booming — from holistic retreats to chakra-balancing, it’s a detox you didn’t know you needed.
2. Go Fort-Hopping, But with a Twist
Forget about posing on that same old fort in goa that shows up on everyone’s Insta. The cool cats are climbing hidden forts like Cabo de Rama or the lesser-known Chapora side trails for actual views, not just selfies. Bonus? No crowd screaming “Yo bro, take my picture!”
3. Swap Beach Clubs for Backyard Gigs
Instead of chugging beers in baga goa till you pass out, head to underground gigs in Assagao or Anjuna. Live jazz, vinyl nights, secret comedy shows — this is the goa places you don’t hear about in tourist brochures.
4. Kayak, Don’t Banana Boat
Wanna really flex? Take a mangrove kayaking tour in Chorao or paddleboarding in Mandrem. Trust us, nothing screams “main cool hoon” like silently cruising past kingfishers at dawn.
5. Chill at Morjim Like a Local
Locals know morjim is not just for Russians. Grab a plate of poee and chorizo at a sleepy café, nap in a hammock, and vibe with nature. It’s peaceful, aesthetic, and far from that wild Baga crowd.
6. Treat Yo’Self – Spa Edition
While the basic bros are burning under the sun, the real OGs are unwinding at a lush spa in goa. Ayurvedic massages, saltwater therapy, and flower baths — the kind of “high” your soul needs.
7. Shop, But Sustainably
Skip those cheap floral shirts, yaar. Head to Mapusa Market or ethical pop-ups in Panjim. Local fashion, handcrafted accessories, and the kind of bags you’ll brag about back home. Pure aesthetic!
8. Join a Secret Supper Club
Ever eaten a 5-course Goan-Portuguese meal in someone’s backyard under fairy lights? That’s what we call dining goals. Ask around, or better yet, make a local friend and manifest that invite.
So next time someone asks about the top 10 places to visit in goa, just smirk and say, “Oh, I don’t do the usual touristy stuff.”
Wrap-Up:
Whether it’s a hidden jazz night or a sunrise kayak, Goa city has something that’ll blow your mind — if you’re willing to explore beyond the usual goa places. So roll up your sleeves, toss that beach towel, and dive into the real Goa. Bohot mazza aayega, trust us.
