From north to south

  • Querim Beach - the northernmost beach of Goa with tall pine trees lined up all along the beach
  • Arambol Beach - a quiet beach in North Goa near Pernem. Not too many facilities in terms of hotels or eating joints. The water is shallow and good for swimming.
  • Mandrem Beach - another beach in extreme north Goa's Pernem taluka
  • Asvem Beach - quieter beach in extreme north Goa's Pernem taluka
  • Morjim Beach - beautiful beach, inhabited by Russian tourists. Prices are high, many restaurants with Russian cousine. Nightlife is vibrant here. This place is popular among kitesurfers due shallow depth of the sea and very wide beach.
  • Chapora Home of the Chapora fort. Bordering Vagator Beach.
  • Vagator Beach - a beach in Bardez, neighbouring Anjuna
