Arpora is much smaller and quieter than nearby Baga and Calangute. This is a very popular resort for short breaks. Complex is about 25 mins walk or 5-minute taxi ride to the nearest beach in Baga. The beach stretches to the other beaches of Calangute and Candolim, all have plenty of beach shacks to choose from all serving a wide range of food and drinks from morning to night with something for everyone, there are also jet skis, parascending and banana boats. About a 40-minute taxi ride away are the beautiful quiet golden sandy beaches of Ashvem and Mandrem with palm trees and stilted bamboo beach huts to stay in.
Arpora is buzzing at night but not loud. It’s a small town so has lots of local charm but it has lots of tourist bars and restaurants so you will never be stuck for a place to eat. Baga and Calangute beach is just a short hop away by bike car taxi or bus.
Arpora hosts two markets; the river at Baga locates Mackie’s Saturday Night Bazaar. The Saturday night market in Arpora or the famous Wednesday flea market at Anjuna Beach, is close by as well, and will satisfy even the best shopaholics.
The nearest beach is Baga beach. Baga beach is situated to the North of Calangute, in Goa. It is a place where there are a lot of restaurants, hotels and shops and it is usually packed with tourists. Baga Beach in North Goa may be touristy and busy but for those who like action, it’s one of the most happening beaches on the coast. There are various water sports along the beach including paragliding, boat trips, wakeboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing, or take a ride on a jet ski. Dolphin spotting trips and island trips are on offer and there is plenty of scope for bird watching. Yoga classes are very popular. Fishing trips can also be arranged. Fine dining restaurants, along with a pulsating nightlife.
However, many people are simply content lazing on the sun lounges in front of the beach shacks all day and feasting on a steady supply of food, beer, and cocktails.
Baga beach however is less crowded when compared to Calangute beach. The Baga Creek joins the sea to the North. To reach the opposite bank there is a small concrete bridge. At the mouth of the creek is the bus station from where buses run for Panaji and Calangute, the road coming from Calangute ends here. Taxis are available and there are also lots of places where one can hire scooters or motorbikes.
Baga is quite famous when it comes to nightlife as one can find some very popular clubs and discos here. People here in Baga are generous and entertaining.
