Mandrem

Mandrem Beach Goa

This beach offers you complete relaxation, peace and solitude; free from the hectic day-to-day life.

Even many of the areas are out of range for cellphones. It is most entertaining and well accomodative than others in the same area i.e, Ashwem and Monjim.

Geographically Mandrem is surrounded by the villages of Morjim, Parxem, Chopdem and Arambol. But it's the pristine beachland which works wonders for the village. The foreign backpackers discovered the beach spot while heading to Arambol. The twin beaches of Ashvem and Junas now provide a colourful corridor to the Arambol beach, a much beaten north destination for tourists in Goa.

The village bazaar has grown in colour and content already. The hangers-on have multiplied, the fisherwoman selling fresh or dry fish ain't the focus anymore. The local restaurant cum lodge serves delicious bhaji-pão to locals. The foreigners sipping lassi or fruit-juice at the nearby stalls, is a little more attention than locals. The overall setup - trendy, little stores display a wide variety of mineral water bottles, tissue papers, cheese and canned stuff - appear to be gearing to entertain international backpackers. As winter vacation arrives, some villagers vacate their rooms to accommodate foreigners for a little income.
