Vagator Beach has dramatic red cliffs looking down on the shore and two fresh water springs within a stone's throw of the sea. But Vagator has little by way of seaside accommodation. The accommodation ranges from simple beach shacks to serious luxury resorts. While some of the luxury can be very expensive, there is generally enough ok priced places (300 - 500 Rupees per night) to make it possible to stay for a reasonable length of time.
Vagator Beach is split into two main beaches by a seaside headland which holds the car park and lots of stalls selling trinkets, clothes, soft drinks and snacks. As you face the sea, on your right is North Vagator Beach (Big Vagator)and on your left
Ozram Beach , more commonly known as Little Vagator Beach.There are a number of places playing to a dance & trance crowd during the tourist season. These include: Nine Bar located just above Little Vagator Hilltop (a little back from Little Vagator) and Primrose back towards Big Vagator beach, they play different types of trance and psychedelic music from different DJ's from around the world, a number of them up & coming guys and some girls from Europe and the local Indian scene.
Also there are a host of Mediterranean and Indian Cafes/Hotels serving a variety of food and drink.
