However, overexploitation of the beach stretch has resulted in the area succumbing to the ravages of garbage, congestion and pollution, to name just a few.

The revitalisation roadmap also involves landscaping of the area surrounding Baga, especially the once-picturesque Baga creek that empties into the sea. The confluence where the creek meets the sea is also a major erosion-affected area. And a plan is being drawn up to stop the sandbank from being washed into the sea.
