North Goa - Baga

I am going to North Goa in a few weeks time and I wondered if anyone could give me some advice about the following

Are there ATM's in the towns
Is it safe in the town at night
Is there a local medication for upset stomachs
Is the fruit safe to eat
Whats the alcohol like?

Any other advice that you think will be useful?

Many thanks
Waddle you do eh?

    No - Calangute is the nearest I found
    Yes - just watch out for folk driving without lights / licence and under the influence of various substances
    Yes
    OH GOD YES
    Local beer fine, local spirits variable, nice to have a drop of port to finish a meal

    Hi there

    I spent a few days in Baga in 1997. It's a really nice little place, felt totally safe and I never worried about walking around, day or night. The food is great and beer and wine are fine. I can't remember about ATMs. You should have a great time. It is quite touristy and it's worth travelling to the south of Goa if you get a chance for quieter and more 'wild' beaches.
