Quiet Querim is the place to come to while away the hours in relative peace, with just a few beach shacks setting up here in season. Backed by a shady cover of fir and casuarina trees and separated from Arambol and Kalacha by a rocky headland, this is Goa's most northerly beach and a popular area for long-stayers renting local houses.
