Mandrem

Mandrem is a small beach in Goa's northernmost section, stretching about 790 meters of land. It is distinguished by soft white sand, a few sand dunes, and shrub life. As you walk around, you'll notice a lovely lining of swaying palm trees and casuarinas flanking the water. A tiny cliff separates this beach from Arambol Beach at the northern end.

The scenic beauty of Mandrem Beach is multiplied ten-folds during mornings as well as evenings and it is mainly known for its sunset views. So do not forget to carry your cameras while visiting this beach. Mandrem Beach is not the one to witness a large crowd, which makes it a convenient place for a relaxing holiday. As there is no crowd here, you can simply kick off your footwear and stroll on the shore or just soak your legs in the waters. Else, you can reserve Mandrem beach as the last spot to visit after a tiring day.

There is a small village near the beach where you will mostly find the local community of Mandrem. Make sure you set some time free to communicate with the local fishermen and get acquainted with their fishing traditions. If you get a chance to visit Mandrem Beach during high tides, do visit. It is during this time, when the sea water gushes into a parallelly running creek. This Mandrem creek is actually a dissecting river which divides the Mandrem Beach into two parts. Do not miss the opportunity of trying a hand at the water adventures of Mandrem, such as sunset backwater kayaking and ATV ride.
