About Morjim Beach
Morjim Beach, often affectionately called 'Little Russia' due to its large expatriate population, is a haven for those seeking tranquility away from Goa's loud party scene. This expansive, shallow beach is ecologically significant as it serves as a crucial nesting habitat for the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles. The gentle waves and relaxed shacks make it a perfect spot for unwinding.
History
While historically a quiet fishing village, Morjim gained prominence in the late 20th century due to conservation efforts to protect its turtle nesting grounds, leading to strict regulations against noise and bright lights at night.
