Travel time from Marmagao: approx 0.5 hrs

Baga Beach is another of the most popular beaches in North Goa. Attracting a mix of younger, middle class Indian tourists as well as those from overseas this is the partying capital of the Goan coast.

5. Baina Beach

Travel time from Marmagao: approx 0.5 hrs

Baina Beach is a relatively new stretch of sand on the Goa circuit, and as such, remains tranquil despite its growing interest from tourists.

Travel time from Marmagao: approx 0.5 hrs

Ashvem Beach sits to the north of Goa's Chapora River. Despite its long stretch of golden sand washed by attractive waters, Ashvem Beach isn't as popular as other parts of the Goa coastline, perhaps because it lacks the water sports facilities of beaches further south. It makes Ashvem Beach a fine destination for those beachgoers looking for a more relaxed and tranquil experience.

Travel time from Marmagao: approx 0.5 hrs

Morjim Beach is one of the most Northern beaches in Goa. With its beautiful pristine sands and backdrop of palms it makes the perfect nesting and hatching site for the Olive ridley sea turtles.
