01 — The story

Querim Beach is the shoreline of Querim village in Pernem, Goa, about 30 km from Mapusa, and is described as both the largest and the most northerly beach in the state. It is a long sweep of sand with a few rocky outcrops, lines of trees and an inlet of the Tiracol River.

The beach lies north of Arambol; reaching it on foot from there means crossing the hill and jungle that separate Paliem Sweet Water Lake from Querim. From its northern end, a restaurant and bar can be seen on a high hill across the Tiracol River, and on the highest cliff on that side stands Fort Tiracol, now a heritage hotel.
