If you take normal security precautions, you shouldn't have a problem. I reckon Goa is safer than a lot of the European resorts. I've always found it to be as close to Paradise as I've yet got! It's a wonderful place.
The police are not always straight forward and it's a good idea to avoid them. Rumours of planted drugs persist - you have to pay to get yourself out of trouble but personally, I've never experienced it. If you're going to drink a lot, do it close to "home". Enjoy! |

I think, the thing about Goa, is that each beach has quite a different feel to it, and that you should be able to find the beach that suits you best.

Goa is beautiful
I trekked through Goa in December and found the Majorda Beach quite nice but then I cannot comment much on the party scene as I avoided it. I wrote about that experience at another place. If you wish, have a look.

Goa is a extremely safe place. No questions about it.

Some parts of Goa are still wonderful and others less so, and it all depends on what you're after and what you make of it, as someone just said, I do believe though that some of the magic has gone (especially if you're into
  endless dancing ), anyway magic is within you and everything is relative etc etc......... |

It can't be that bad. I'm moving there from the UK. The Uk is sh*t compared with Goa!!! I like a beer etc. and I have never had a problem, the people there are really helpfull, at least you can ask a question or help without there being any thought you are on the pick-up. I got drunk on a beach BBQ one night, and the boys on the beach arranged a taxi to my hotel for me free of charge - I did go down the next day and pay though!!!!

I hope you are aware that security has been tightened in Goa now.
Embassys don't know to tell, but locals do.

You know the saying: "Not until hell freezes over!", well Finland isn't really Hell until it freezes over (=winter is coming). Just a play on words. God, I'm really killing this joke now... and it wasn't very funny to begin with. Anyway, Ior Bock would know. He spent a lot of time in Goa drinking his own jizz, amongst other interesting activities. |

 Yeah I did meet Ior Bock in Goa. And yeah I think him and his followers are doing some crazy sh--- But the Hell stuff mythologys is pretty interesting anyways. Actually I do think he talks about a Ice age and that Hell or whatever Did freeze over.... But I would indeed advice anyone not to swallow all the Bock stuff... Whatever it is.  |

Ior Bock got shot or stabbed or something and now he just sits and meditates in a dark room, mostly. |
