Geography & terrain

Morjim lies in the Pernem taluka of Goa, 30 km from Panaji and 8 km from Chapora — the turtle beach of the region, its olive ridley nests, the sands and the quiet riverside set on the Mandovi's mouth.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the olive ridley nesting — the turtle-nesting beach of the annual season and the conservation of the Morjim's dunes, with the village's modern role as the quiet escape of the north-Goa circuit and the home of the turtle hatcheries and the riverside shacks; the village's history of the fishing community and the later Russian visitors, gives Morjim its turtle-beach character.
