Yes, since its probably #1/#2 beach in Goa in terms of tourist visiting it. Since a lot of mixed crowd, high chances of panga too.

Goa is a place with a reputation of chilling out and a lot of the indian tourists can behave without fear of disapproving parents/in-laws/miscellaneous relatives/uncle next door etc etc. This translates to a lot of drunkness, scant clothing and unfortunately tourists behaving as if they own the place. This will definitely lead to more violence, eve teasing etc.
Calangute and Baga are the focal points as a lot of tourists' definition of Goa is just these beaches. The people I was with on this trip had been to Goa every year for the last 5 years, but had never even been to Old Goa side

Absolutely right. I agree some of the tourists probably their percentage is very less ( especially the banian and underwear/tight short wearing types) get drunk and behave as if they just landed in heaven. Feel sorry for them.

Thanks Ami. I am addicted to Goa. Need to get myself enrolled in a de-addiction center. Do you know of any?

Contd....
Next day got up at our usual time of 9AM and headed straight to Infantaria and it was a repeat of yesterday, wherein we waited for nearly 40 mins for a table, 30mins to be served our ommies,toast and bacon and chucked the idea of waiting for coffee when our waiter arrogantly said 30 minutes wait for a cup of coffee.
Next few minutes we see a couple of caucasian girls arrive and get seated next to our table and order coffee, bam it's served in 5-10 mins flat (
This incident is outlined specifically for Spitfire).
After finishing our leisurely breakfast, we stepped out at half past noon and see that weather has become much better. For the first time the rain had completely stopped and we decided to head to Baga Beach and spend the afternoon there. We parked the car at our hotel parking, i deliberatly left my camera in the car ( didnt want to take more chances with an already erratically functioning piece) and walked towards Baga.
We walked the entire stretch from Baga until Calangute and returned back to a small shack near to Brittos and decided to freshen or rather start the day with our favorite beverage.
We usually select a shack that is full and buzzing with noise with the logic that their food would be fresh and there must be a reason why so many people are hanging out there.
When we entered this shack, we see a group of around 8-10 extremely pretty ladies between age group of 30-40 years with fashionable big sunglasses and looked pretty hip and hop seated immediately inside the entrance and not able to decide between to our shock or pleasant surprise all of them were wearing baywatch attire with just a transparent shirt on top of it.
I assume they were from Mumbai, from their accent. I don't want to make any lurid descriptions here but, oh boy! did they set that shack on fire.
With a seating capacity of maybe 30-40 people, that shack was overflowing with close to 80 people who didnt mind standing with their drinks but wanted to stay in touch with their fantasies, if you know what i mean.
Word of mouth spread and more people started to throng this shack and it was very evident these beautiful ladies were thoroughly enjoying this attention and started dancing one after the other with other ladies clicking pictures of them. Some of the dances got really raunchy and it was a sight to behold.
After being the cynosure of everyone's eyes for a long time, they decided to step out towards the beach and all of them ran towards the beach and trust me, something happened that happened a few years ago to a famous ramp model. That created a huge hullagulla. But, all ended well with some swift action from her friends.
Infact, they continued the beach rampage until 7:30pm moving from one shack to another and even saw them having lunch/dinner at Brittos where we too were having our lunch at the same time.
Their was a parallel drama happening around the same time at Baga, I was standing near the water very close to a lifeguard and saw a bunch of guys ( 8-10 of them, the banian and tight shorts type of guys) playing in the water and he asked them to come out of the water as currents were pretty high. They were not even 5 feet inside the water. They said something in Kannada and he raised his voice and asked them to come out again. But, they ignored him.
He used his walkie talkie and within 5 minutes a red colored mahindra jeep came with 3-4 lifeguards in it and pounced on this group.
You won't bieleve this but they beat the hell out of a couple of guys in that group.
It was ruthless to the core, kicking in their stomach, jaw punching, head butts and remaining 6 friends were stunned and not the fighting types were crying and pleading sorry and requesting them to stop. But, they continued hitting these 2 fellas for quite sometime. It was not a good sight !
Another fight took place within another one hour. Another small group were taken to task by the very same lifeguards. It looked as if they wanted to pick fights and were enjoying giving the explanation that you guys drink and enter water and we have to save you.
Trust me, that day nobody even ventured 10 feet inside the water.
Whew ! What an afternoon, it had the complete ingredients of a bollywood movie.
We wound up that day with a late lunch at 7:30pm from Brittos with lots of food being ordered since we were all ravenously hungry. So the usual Fish, Prawns ( Snacks and Rice) were ordered to complete an eventful day. We later on spent the night at the club until wee hours of the morning that we were supposed to drive back to Hyderabad.
