Located north of the Chapora River, Morjim and Ashwem represent the sophisticated, bohemian side of North Goa. Free from dense crowds, these wide beaches feature shallow sandbanks, swaying palms, and some of the country's finest beachfront restaurants.

The southern tip of Morjim Beach is a legally protected reserve where endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles lay eggs between November and March. Goa Forest Department maintains a strict 24/7 hatchery program ensuring peaceful, light-pollution-free nesting grounds.
