Thus Vagator comes as a breath of fresh air with the red laterite rocks rising steeply from the sands. Swimming is safe in North Vagator beach but gets tricky in the southern part (also known as Ozrant) due to these very rocks that affect the currents in the sea.This beach is a favourite with Israeli tourists thus a small central portion of it is called Tel Aviv Beach. The seafront is dotted with shacks and juice bars many serving Israeli and Continental food. Chapora Fort is the main attraction of this beach. Built in 1717 by the Portuguese to face the onslaught of the Maratha Army
