As the shadows grow longer, the cocktails grow stronger, the music grows louder
- and everyone has a blast! The beaches of Goa are dotted with small eateries & pub-like establishments called Beach Shacks, that open for breakfast and serve until the wee hours of the morning. The Flying Dolphin Beach Bar and Restaurant is in Calangute, on Holiday Street - you cannot beat the atmosphere in there! As
far as shack standards go, its look & feel is is definitely upmarket, a cut above the rest. The high roof, seating areas, bar and stage were constructed a few years ago, and are unique. The menu includes Goan, Indian,Chinese, and Continental - even Greek food. You can also fill your tummy on tasty snacks, to go with a delicious cocktail from a huge list. The seafood dishes are spectacular - with a choice of lobster, crab, squid, prawns, mussels and many varieties of fish. To accompany your food, choose from a wide range of Indian and imported wines and liquors, or sample the potent local liquors "feni" and "urak"...
After a beautiful sunset, the evenings are special too,with barbecues and fireworks to lift your spirits higher. Every night there's either chart-music from a CD or a live band playing golden oldies & hip new stuff, sometimes karaoke or special guest appearances. Flying Dolphin is the place to watch the magic of the Goan waves, as they crash on the white sands, while you relax,and enjoy Goa at its best.
