GOA : Morjim Beach
The Vibe:River mouth, turtles and a long flat shore.
Where the Chapora river meets the sea at the southern edge of Pernem. The estuary makes it a nesting site for olive ridley turtles and a draw for waders.
Flat sand runs wide at low tide, with the river channel cutting behind it. The crowd is thinner and older than the beaches just south.
