Baina Beach is located in the western part of the Indian port city of Mormugao. The width of the sandy strip on Vasco Baina Beach is from fifty to one hundred meters, and the total length is just over a kilometer.
In this place, tourists calmly walk in the evenings, admire the sunrise, swim or go in for water sports. The beach has become more and more "cultural" and adapted for visitors over time, but it is still quite polluted.
Baina Beach in Goa often hosts all kinds of cultural events, such as beach festivals. This beach is visited by quite a few tourists who just walk around and enjoy the view of the ocean. Baina is considered a completely safe beach.
Next to Baina Beach in Goa is another beach - Velsao.
Velsao beach can be easily reached on foot, taking a leisurely walk along the coast.

Where to eat on Bayna Beach:
Mainly on the banks of the harvesters there are Shakes, where they serve dishes of Indian, Nepalese, Tibetan and European cuisines.
Due to the large concentration of fishermen, there are queues of tourists in the morning to buy freshly caught fish. It is easier to buy food and cook here than to dine in a cafe. But visiting restaurants will not be a particularly expensive pleasure. It is worth alternating eating at home and eating in a cafe, as well as making unloading days on exotic fruits, juices and vegetables.
In the city itself there are shops and supermarkets with Indian and European food. No one will go hungry here.
Reviews:
There is a fishing village on the shore, so the beach is very littered, it is not recommended for a good rest. Near the port, railway station and airport, so noisy and not conducive to lying on the beach. Baina Beach is interesting for those who like to watch the planes and those who want to see the real, colorful Indian life.
