Ashwem Beach
Ashwem (Ashvem) Beach
An elegant, low-key beach north of Morjim, dotted with rocks and calm water, lined with boutique beach restaurants and cottages. Good for watching the sunset.
Ashwem Beach lies between Morjim and Mandrem. The sand is clean, and the northern stretch has black rocks and tide pools. At low tide the water is shallow and calm, suitable for swimming and families with children. Unlike the bustle around Calangute, the coast is lined with stylish beach restaurants, yoga studios and boutique cottages. In the evening you can lounge on beach chairs, watch the sunset and eat seafood. Peak season runs from November to March. During the monsoon most shacks close and the waves are too rough for swimming. It is about a 20-minute drive from Vagator and can be combined with Morjim and Mandrem beaches. The beach is free; loungers usually require a purchase at the restaurant.
