Calangute beach
Morjim beach
I personally love the beach. I have visited all the beaches in the north Goa , I found Morjim to be the most pleasant beach as the waves were so smooth enough that it made the whole climate into most romantic one.
Less crowd, limited shacks, no water sports, no music to disturb the calm, just a beach in all its natural glory. This is a quieter beach than the others in Goa ’s north. Morjim beach is clean and a popular choice for many tourists. Tourists visit this place for relaxing and Most of them are from Russia, which is why, Morjim beach is often referred to as “Little Russia”.

Three Kings chapel is among the most famous churches in South Goa . This church is situated at the peak of the mountain in cansaulim area, this church gives spectacular scenic views of the coastline and the lush greenery.
The chapel was shut when we visited so one could only admire the wooden doors, and the view, very peaceful, with trees adding their presence to the natural beauty. Sunset view from three kings is absolutely breathtaking and is worth a few photographs if you’re not into spooky tourism.
Legend says, this church is haunted. I was very keen to see moonlit sky from here, but then why take a risk 😉 I recommend you must visit this place in Monsoon! The only thing that will haunt you is it’s beauty 🙂
