Buses from Panjim and Mapusa, 9km east, pull in every fifteen minutes or so at the crossroads on the far northeastern edge of Vagator, near where the main road peels away towards Chapora. From here, it's a one-kilometre walk over the hill and down the other side to the beach, where you'll find most of the village's accommodation, restaurants and cafés. The Primrose Café , on the south side of the village, has a foreign exchange licence (for cash and travellers' cheques) but their rates are well above those on offer at the banks in Mapusa and Calangute. If you need medical attention, contact Dr Jawarhalal Henriques at Zorin, near the petrol pump in Chapora (tel 0832/274308).
