Oceanic in Baga is always a favourite of ours. Great staff, great food and the obligatory excellent sunset views. Very nice setting near the cliffs and river inlet too.

I know everyone has their favourites, but must agree with Ronaldo the Oceanic at Baga beach is fabulous and has everything you are looking for.

Ganesh shack in Candolim also very good with very nice folk and enjoyed a nice breakfast there oh and a free drink thanks spike :D

Worst thing that happened at Oceanic was when our friend (and I guess everyone who knows him :D ) Rocky left. Thankfully he only moved to Redunda in Calangute. Great place to sit in the afternoon/early evening watching life go by as you get steadily sozzled, lol.

Also Rovin has left the Oceanic. He is now running a restaurant in Calangute called Sendra (next door to Domino Pizza). The food is great and very reasonably priced. Worthwhile giving it a visit.

I have been going to Silver Sands on Baga for years.

Hi shirley Hope you had a good holiday in Morocco. Raj is still there, running about the beach like mad as normal getting everyone their drinks. When we were leaving last week he said "I am very sadder cos you are going home" :( but not to worry cos we are back in under 9 weeks time. Which one is Sam again?
Do you remember Rovin? (Most folk called him Robin). He ran the shack last year. Well he has left and is running a family restaurant in Calangute, its called Sendra (next door to Domino Pizza). You should pop in and see him. He would be very pleased. Food was lovely and very reasonably priced.

Hi we have always used Boscos great staff (and food ) but noticed over the last couple of years he is putting out more & more sunbeds and they are becoming a bit to close together ( you put your brolly up and and it puts about a dozen people in the shade)(slight exageration)so after reading the posts here i think we may visit a few of the ones mentioned instead of doing the same shack day after day...after all they do say variety is the spice of life.....KJF

WE have used the same few shacks for years also ..but this year we had my brother and his wife with us and we went to 11 different ones this year and it was such a change but for the better .

Try Aggies shack to the right (from the seashore looking into the land) of Goan Heritage alongside Rudis, weve been using it for 10 years with very few complaints, the staff, Jack seems to run the shack when Aggies not there, Anita the masseur and her hubby Lax. Food is always good and reasonable plus nice guests of course

Colleen,

That sounds like the Cliffs shack at Baga, they have lots of flags - it's the one on its own that you haver to walk around the rocks to get to.

I could be wrong tho

Gemma33 , Sam is the lad of about 13 who helps at the oceanic and he trys to sell you stuff from his 'shop' which is a tupperware box of little wooden necklaces etc....just wondered if he's still there.

Yes I remember Rovin will try Sendra when we go over.

Thanks I absolutely loved Morroco shirleyV

Fantastic Shirley. Enjoy yourself. :D

The Oceanic are also taking over another beach shack. Its only 2 shacks up from the Oceanic. Its called St Anthonys shack. Its the next one up on the left passed the Silver Sand. I think it should be ready by end December. Might be worth giving this one a try as well.
