Ozran Beach is also known as Little Vagator due to its proximity to the larger Vagator Beach. In all perspectives, it's an independent beach, in fact more than any other, thanks to the large hills that bracket this small pocket. Lately constructions have begun in this secluded paradise which means in next one year it will be as crowded and commercialized as any other beach in Goa.
We arrived at Ozran around lunch time and found it almost empty with the exception of a few foreigners chilling and playing. It was warm and breezy. There is a steep staircase to the beach which is probably one of the reasons why less people visit here. It reminded me of Om Beach in Gokarna. The regular order of beer and snacks were made while we settled in a makeshift shack. The kids started building sand castles and the elderly prepared themselves for a chitchat over beer.
The sand here at Ozran was black which makes the coast greyish and the water little dirty. Still the Goa weather and December warmth were inviting enough and so some of us quickly got into the Arabian Sea. The steady supply of booze and company of friends has been a perpetual entertainer within the set of Goa. Having a light lunch we decided to go for a restaurant nearby famous for sunset and coffee. We were told, the restaurant closed six months ago. The group broke into two.
Some of us headed to a french cafe popular among tourists. Baba Au Rhum was on our way to the hotel and so we decided to settle there to enjoy some of the french delicacies. Although part of menu was unavailable in the evening, we still entertained ourselves with coffee and various kind of croissants before heading back to hotel. It was getting dark and although we were a large group, it made sense to get off the scooty early.
We were tired after a long day. The morning was spent procuring five scootys which was fun but straining. Plan for night was to visit the La Calypso Casino near our hotel. Later a friend told me the view from W Hotel in Vagator is equally stunning and so is the coffee.
