What Makes Querim Beach Awesome

Keri Beach also known as Querim Beach is the perfect option for some great views, clear waters, surfing, paragliding and plenty of me-time. If you like to just be, when you’re on a vacation then make a trip to Keri. You can paraglide from a heightened rock and land on the beach or even into the water. If you’re not an experienced para-glider make sure you’re accompanied by the instructor. The waves here also make it a great spot for surfing, though it’s best suited for experienced surfers. The beach is perfect for anyone who’s bored of the commercial side of Goa.

Querim Beach is about 45 kilometres from Panjim and offers a tranquil break from the crowds. While it may not have the loud and shiny nightlife of other Goan beaches, it makes up for it with its natural beauty and peaceful surroundings.

For those who simply want to relax, the golden sands and gentle sea breeze create the perfect atmosphere for sunbathing and long, peaceful walks. Located at the northernmost tip of the state, Querim Beach is about a 30-minute walk from Arambol.

LBB Tip: Since the area is somewhat isolated, it’s a good idea to pack everything you might need, from snacks to sunscreen. Don’t forget to bring a camera to capture the picturesque landscapes and the charming scenes of local fishermen either resting or going about their daily routines. If you plan on swimming, be cautious, as the beach has a steep decline that can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers. Walking further down the sandy shores, you’ll reach the backwaters, where you can see Maharashtra on the other side.

Nearby Places To Visit

Along the beach, the ancient Ajoba Temple stands with its striking turquoise and white architecture. Its origins are so old that they have been lost to time. Here, you’ll find centuries-old Goan houses, some small beach shacks that serve delicious, budget-friendly Indian curries with naan bread, and a few even offer accommodation for those who wish to stay longer.

Just beyond the row of trees lies the Terekhol River, which flows out into the sea. In nearby Querim village, the Terekhol River Crossing ferry service connects Sindhudurg District (Maharashtra) to North Goa. Across the river stands the 17th-century Terekhol Fort, now converted into a boutique hotel. The fort’s rooms offer stunning views of the Arabian Sea, making it a unique place to visit or stay.

How To Reach Querim Beach

Querim Beach is located 1.7 kilometers from the Maharashtra border, just north of Arambol Beach. Renting a bicycle or scooter in Goa is a great way to reach the beach at your own pace, stopping to explore the Sai Baba Temple and Ravalnath Temple along the way. Alternatively, you can take a bus or taxi from central Goa. Small signs point the way to the beach, making navigation easy. The best time to visit is between October and June to avoid the wet season.

Highlight: Keep an eye for Querim cave at the beach as you stroll around.
