Goa is not only about weed, smoke, alcohol or parties but it is also about a good leisure time with friends or family! To our recent visit to goa, we explored some great places which were amazingly awesome and were family friendly too. Here are some must visit clubs, cafes and sightseeing that one shouldn’t miss it out.
CLUBS
- SINQ
Be it any club of Goa, all clubs are just the same in terms of crowd, food and space. SINQ is one of the best clubs to avoid the cheap crowd, bad food, people puking around and also to great offers. This place offers its visitors with spacious surroundings and dance floor to party. The outdoor decks wrapped in white cabanas, water pool, bar, etc. are some of the highlights of the place. This place is definitely nothing less than a heaven for all the party lovers. On our recent trip to goa, we literally didn’t find any club better than SINQ. Decent food, great crowd and amazing ambience. When in goa be sure to visit SINQ for good music and a good time. Clubs like Titos and Liliput has completely lost its standards and are really degraded now.
BEACHSIDE CAFES
- Eva’s Café
when someone asks me, what is the thing you love the most, I always answer it by saying ‘beaches’ the sound of the waves, a smoothie and some great European food. This totally sums up my whole of the goa trip. the best part about these cafes is that you get to feel every bit of the beach without even allowing your feet to get wet and all dirty. Yes, it is an amazing feeling to play with the waves but sometimes it’s just the mood that asks me to sit back, relax and just listen to the waves. This café is totally your breakfast goals and one of the best cafes you should visit when in Goa. On Entering I was really astounded by looking at such an airy, well decorated and a ‘Proper’ beach facing café. We ordered for a Shakshuka a Tunisian dish of poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce with chilli peppers and onions. Next, we called was for a Margarita sandwich was AAAAMMMAAZZIINNGGG. In smoothies, we called for a tropical smoothie which had orange and mango and the other one was a healthy one i.e with muesli and banana. We were so content with all this that we finally made a move when sun also started showing off its hotness 
- Olives
A place where one can kick off their heels and roam around in flip-flops. Yes, as you enter they allow you to leave your heels outside and wear blue flip-flops provided by them. Olives will give completely give you a feel of Bali. Everything there looked so fresh, so white and so beautiful. The blue and white themed olive looked totally like Santorini. This café is a beach facing café of Vagator. Compared to the other beaches, Vagator is one of the cleanest! Talking about Vagator, it doesn’t really have any water sports but a great sunset point. Olive café is the best sunset point in Goa I will ever recommend to someone. Talking about the food: being only a chicken eater and not a seafood eater, we didn’t really enjoy the vegetarian menu and everything else was just too basic! Nevertheless, here every nook in this place is picture worthy and I promise you about the fun you’ll have at this place.
SIGHTSEEING
- Our lady of Immaculate Conception
A classy church, completely white in colour with a series of crisscrossing steps that lead you to the prayer hall and massive bells on its rooftop. Yes, this is that place where several movies are shot including Simba. This church is one of the oldest chapels in Goa.
- Fort Aguada
Construction of the fort was undertaken by the Portuguese in the year 1609 for the purpose of keeping an eye on the movements through the waters and the nearby areas and the structure was finally complete after 3. Since then, precisely for over more than 400 years, the fort has stood strong (although some parts of it have been ruined) and its magnificence remains intact.
The location where the fort was constructed was of strategic importance to the empire and provided it with a great defence base. A very main reason to visit this fort is because this fort has the best sunset point and also a very famous tourist point and the other reason is the lighthouse.there is a prison house in the fort which is one of the largest jails in goa where accused of crimes such as narcotics abuse, drugs sale and trafficking are lodged in. It is closed for public visits.
- Anjuna Market
This market is really exciting to visit and really huge. But the sad part is, you can not really find anything different, whatever you find here is nothing really exceptional from what we get in Mumbai. The only thing I loved about this market was the jewellery. It had a huge collection of artificial as well as real jewellery.
- Dear Zindagi?
We all have watched this famous movie: Dear Zindagi starring Aliaa Bhatt and Shahrukh Khan. This is that or a similar famous street showed in the movie where both the actors goes for a cycle ride on a narrow street which has coconut trees on both the side of the streets. The location can be said as ‘Parra Road’
- Fontainahs
Goa is a lot more than parties, beaches and drinks! Goa is also about colourful buildings and beautiful streets. a little blend of Indian and Portuguese makes Panjims this area a colourful place. The structure of the house was so similar to the drawings we all used to make as kids, typically with those sloppy roofs and stick figures. I always wanted to get my pictures clicked with those colourful buildings. Probably this is one of my dreams come true.
These are the places that one should visit and one shouldn’t! hope this guides you well and gives you great leisure time. I would really recommend that one should really skip all these partying spots and explore the nooks and corners of Goa.
