Cliffs near Chapora Fort are genuinely unstable, especially after rain - stay back from edges. A documented 'ear wax scam' targets tourists on Little Vagator/Ozran (pebbles planted in your ear, then a ₹500-per-pebble demand to remove them).
Vagator sits below Chapora Fort at the northernmost edge of Bardez taluka, and its dramatic red laterite cliffs were shaped by centuries of erosion from the Arabian Sea meeting the Chapora River estuary. Like neighboring Anjuna, it became a magnet for hippie travelers in the 1960s and 1970s, and its cliffside chapel, dedicated to St. Anthony, marks the formal establishment of the local parish in the 20th century. The beach split into 'Big Vagator' and 'Little Vagator' (Ozran) is a comparatively recent tourism-era distinction rather than a historical one.
