"SUNSET THROUGH THE COCONUT PALMS ON MANDREM BACK BEACH."

 

Everyone is aware of what Goa is famous for 'THE BEACHES' and one of them is Mandrem Beach which has its rustic ambience in its sunset

Mandrem beach is situated after the Ashwem beach and before the Arambol Beach. It is a continuation of the Ashwem beach and very similar to it. It has a number of beach huts, small guest houses and some resorts. Many locals also let out their homes on rent. This beach being quite copared to the other beaches, is frequented by foreign tourists who want to relax and live in harmony with nature. This beach is quite empty and isolated, and have limited facilities for visitors.

Location: North Goa, 25 kilometers from Panjim. The closest railway station is Pernem.

By its rustic ambience, Mandrem takes us back in time. The northern village of Pernem has been surrounded by a hill-range covered with caju plantations and a shoreline with a twin-beach buckle. It's known for fine Goan feni and expert stonecarvers. However, in recent years it has been ruffled from its cattle-driven pace by the tourism trail passing through it to the Arambol beach.
After crossing the Chapora river either from the Chopdem-Siolim ferry-crossing or the Colvale bridge, one lands in the Velhas Conquistas of Pernem. From Colvale, the distance to Mandrem is slightly more than a half-an-hour drive across undulating countryside. The road forks a little less than a kilometre away from the Chopdem ferry-point. The route climbing the hills offers an exhilarating view of land and sea. The coastal route via Morjim village proves equally exhilarating.
