Soon, no ducking behind a sand dune or a palm tree to change in or out of your swimwear. The Goa beach experience is about to undergo a dramatic change with the state government formulating a shack policy, complete with freshwater showers and toilets.

You’ll be watched! The tourism ministry is also contemplating building a 50-metre watchtower on the popular and populous Baga beach in north Goa. File Pic
