Geography & terrain

Querim lies in the North Goa district of Goa, 60 km from Panaji and 12 km from Pernem — the quiet beach of the region, its wild sands, the Tiracol fort and the river mouth set on the Chapora coast's north tip.

History & culture

The beach's story runs with the 17th-century fort era — the quiet beach of the Querim sands and the 1641 Tiracol fort of the Maratha-era watch, with the beach's modern role as the slow stop of the north-Goa circuit and the home of the 1641 fort and the river-mouth views and the red cliffs; the beach's history of the fishing life and the 2010s slow-tourism era, gives Querim its quiet-beach character.
