Goa's northernmost shore, Querim Beach offers a peaceful escape with white sands, casuarina groves, and the Tiracol River meeting the Arabian Sea.
Discover what makes this destination truly special

Querim Beach, locally known as Keri Beach, is the northernmost beach in Goa, marking the state's coastal boundary. It has a distinct character compared to the more popular beaches further south. The landscape is defined by long stretches of white sand, rows of casuarina trees providing shade, and the Tiracol River joining the Arabian Sea at its northern end. This confluence creates a beautiful and dynamic environment, with views of the historic Tiracol Fort perched on a hill across the river in Maharashtra.
