But you should know there are times when google maps make mistake by leading its users in the wrong direction. The route to Baga beach in Goa is one of those places where Google maps often make mistake to chart the right route.
Usually, tourists visiting Goa, ask google maps for the directions to reach popular nearby beaches. Baga beach is one of them, though asking google for the direction won’t be recommended. As the popular route provided by Google is not the correct route. Here is the twitter post:
Hahaha. @googlemaps what’s the route to Baga beach? ?
