2. Best Sea Food Ever Only In Goa
Trust me when I say there ain't no place that will serve you the sea food as they do in Goa. I mean I love my mom's cooking but nothing can beat the fish curry rice of the hotels and small shacks of Goa. It is unbelievably delicious. Do you love sea food? Then this is the place you need to be in. The mouthwatering prawns, sear fish, sardines etc etc I could go on and on.. I am telling you from personal experience you need to go to Goa if you're a food lover. What are you waiting for?
3. Fireworks - To Just Sit Back And Welcome The New Year
There's no other state in India that celebrates Christmas and New Year like Goa does. The happy and jolly Goans never leave a celebration and that too New Year? There are fireworks seen throughout the night and it's almost deafening. But such beautiful fireworks will leave your jaws open in awe. It's all seen in a line, as the fireworks of one street ends the same begins on another and this goes on throughout the night. So if you want to sleep well that's going to be a little hard unless you are a heavy sleeper.
4. Lanterns Let Out Into The Sky
Lanterns are a favorite whether you are an adult or a kid. New year is the time when the already beautiful night sky is made breathtaking by letting out the lit lanterns with wishes of a wonderful and successful year for all. I remember standing under it all and watching the whole sky flaming, giving out a light and view that has never left my mind. One thing I forgot to mention it's called a lantern of hope!
5. The Beaches Come To Life
The beaches of Goa! Everyone around the world wants to visit the crowded as well as the quiet beaches of Goa to just relax. But imagine those same beaches that you long yearn to visit coming to life with people moving everywhere, the ships all lit up with serial lights, music and beats filling the air while all living beings shout up to the sky expressing their enjoyment and love for Goa and its most wanted beaches!!!
6. Bonfire And Barbeque
Who doesn't love a bonfire and barbecue? But imagine the same bonfire, the same people but only your on a beach under the beautiful night sky with the sound of the shushing waves. If a low key-celebration is what you like in the chaos of the city, then a barbeque at a beach is perfect. On beaches like Calangute, Dona Paula, Palolem, Baga, you'll, sure enough, find some quiet spots to have a nice bonfire and barbeque. Many locals opt for this when the city gets flooded with tourists at the clubs and popular spots. There are also proper parties that happen at the same beaches so if you just don't want to go to a club but want to party in the warm, salty breeze under the stars, then the beach is your best bet! Goa's atmosphere is perfect for a bonfire and most importantly a joyous and enjoyable one. Cooking that steak, the ham, sausages while all your friends are singing and spreading positive energy all around them.
7. Singing And Dancing
Whether it's a quiet bonfire and Barbeque night by the beach or an EDM night all the people there sing and dance throughout the night. If you have a singer friend and a friend who plays an instrument a bonfire would be an awesome experience but if you are into loud music that makes you sweat then sunburn is for you.. Either way you will find yourself moving your body to the music.
8. Hilltop - Ultimate Place For New Year's Party In Goa

With DJ’s spinning tunes every weekend, this place is no dampener especially when the year ends.

9. Casinos and Partying On The Cruise
The Vegas of India can't be complete without some casinos. If gambling is what you like and are not yet over the Diwali gambling then bring in the New Year at one of the many casinos in Goa. With many of them being off-shore and on-shore, you can take your pick. Plus, they'll have a party going on themselves, so it's a win-win.
