About St. Anthony's Beach Shack
A long-running beach shack right beside Britto's at the north end of Baga, St. Anthony's pairs fresh seafood and all-day dining with lively evenings of karaoke, shisha and DJs.
St. Anthony's is Britto's next-door neighbour and friendly rival — one of the oldest and most established shacks on Baga beach, with roots going back to the 1970s. It occupies a prime patch of sand at the busy north end of Baga, and like its neighbour it operates as a full-scale, largely permanent beachfront restaurant rather than a flimsy seasonal shack.
By day it's a straightforward beach lunch: fresh seafood, a broad Indian-continental-Goan menu, cold drinks and loungers looking out to the water. By night it shifts gear into one of the livelier ends of the Baga strip, with karaoke, DJ sets, shisha and a steady flow of beer keeping tables full late. That dual personality is the appeal — it's an easy all-day base if you want to eat, drink and stay put on the sand rather than hop around. Expect the same caveats as anywhere on this stretch: it's touristy, prices reflect the location, and the atmosphere is more boisterous than intimate.
Behind the beach belt, the villages that feed North Goa's second-home market stay considerably calmer. In nearby Parra, Avacasa tracks about 11 listings across 4 developers, part of a North Goa cluster of roughly 130 homes with a median around ₹3.60 Cr and most priced on request.
Highlights
Pomfret, prawns, crab and the day's catch, grilled, tandoori or in a Goan curry.
Loungers, shade and a beachfront table from noon into the small hours.

The food
The menu is the familiar Baga all-rounder — the freshest seafood the shack can source, alongside North Indian, Chinese, continental and Goan dishes so mixed groups are all catered for. Fish is the reason to be here: grilled, tandoori or fried pomfret, kingfish and prawns, plus crab and lobster on request. The Goan curries and coastal fry preparations are the honest local orders.
This is casual, generous, tourist-facing cooking rather than anything refined, and quality tracks the seafood closely — order fish and you'll eat well. Service is relaxed and geared to long, lingering sessions rather than quick turnarounds. Being right on the sand, with loungers and shade, makes it as much a place to spend an afternoon as to grab a meal.
What to order
Keep it coastal: tandoori or grilled pomfret, butter-garlic prawns, and a Goan fish curry with rice. For a shared table, a seafood platter with cold beer is the classic move. Crab and lobster are priced by weight — confirm the rate first.
In the evening, the draw shifts from food to the scene: shisha, cocktails and beer while the karaoke or DJ gets going. Non-seafood eaters are covered by the tandoori and Chinese sections, but as with its neighbours, fish is what the kitchen does best.
The verdict
7.5/10A reliable, atmospheric all-day beach shack that does fresh seafood and a fun, noisy evening equally well. It's touristy and priced for the location, and the food won't surprise anyone — but for parking yourself on the north-Baga sand from lunch through to a karaoke-and-shisha night, it's a solid, characterful choice right next to Britto's.
