The heat has been rising steadily throughout March and I have been spending afternoons lying under the fan in my room, reading or watching Bollywood movies. However in recent days I've been enjoying a change of scene, loafing around at the Shore Bar. Anjuna beach is lined with cafe-bars, so it's a question of finding one that suits you. I picked the Shore Bar for its chilled vibe and tasteful quirky decor; think mature hippy with money to spend on furnishings. So it's 'no' to plastic moulded chairs, yes to colonial style hardwood deckchairs with ample cushions. There are a couple of day beds if you get so relaxed you need to get horizontal. The keet walls are currently hosting an art exhibition, photographic images of India , tres tasteful and available to buy.Its a great place to look out on the ever changing tableau of Goan beach life; packs of dogs barking at nothing, tenacious beach vendors armed with sarongs and ankle chains, an impromptu cricket match, pudgy white Europeans turning red, wealthy Mumbaites in designer denim.
The raw options revolve around the classic juice menu; orange, papaya, pineapple, watermelon. You can get a fairly pricey fruit salad here or opt for a Greek salad, extra olives and hold the feta.
The Shore Bar stocks alcohol and I dont know how the place transitions into evenings; as a yogi I prefer to drift homewards as the sunsets.
