Gooo Goa...

North Goa or South Goa???
1. North Goa is the happening one as compared to south Goa. North Goa's beaches like Baga, Calangute, Vagator, Anjuna all are youthful and happening.
2. You want to get the feel of the trance and hippie scene, you got to Bagah, Anjuna, Chapora, Mandrim beaches at North, & if you want to get shanti and relaxation  you should go to Arambol, Benaulim or Palolem at South Goa...
3. Beaches are much more crowded at North
4. North Goa has Discos, Restaurants and bars like Titos, Fiesta, Shalom and Club Cavana etc which are full of fun & masti, very happening.
5. Food in North Goa is awesome, specially Brittos in Bagah and Luke's in Mandrim.
6. South Goa has a number of 5 star hotels and beaautiful hotels, like Club Mahindra's, Taj Exotica, Cidede-de-Goa, Majorda, Hathi Mahal, Leela(7 star), Holiday Inn...
7. Beaches in South Goa is quiet and peaceful, not much happening, but more clean and tidy.
8. South Goa is better for those who are married or for senior citizens and want to relax in a good hotel by the beach...Its more of relaxing than enjoying.
9. South Goa is not so crowded compared north Goa. The beaches are good. Varca beach is really clean and beautiful. Palolem is the most beautiful beach there and very less crowded. The least commercialized, it is surrounded by hills on both sides, resulting in a calm, idyllic sea in which you can walk into upto 100 metres. Its quite small, so easy to explore on foot.
