Goa is still an unexplored land. I remember the numerous visits I made to Goa post my teens, spent a couple of days on the ever so crowded beaches of Calangute and Baga and went back home content with a tan. This blog explores the unexplored, the vast expanses of beaches where weekend tourists forget to horde.

Pernem is a district in North Goa. The most popular beaches in Pernem are Morjim, Ashwem, Mandrem and Arambol. Though Arambol has gained immense popularity in the recent years, Ashwem still remains a quiet haven where the lucky few sip on their mojitos and get a golden brown tan.

Getting around Arambol, Ashwem, Mandrem and Morjim is very easy. The close proximity of the beaches and the lovely roads dwindling their way through coconut plantations and cutting through the hills form a picturesque setting to drive.
