Resort : Mandrem Beach
Description: Mandrem Beach is discovered as the road from Arambol emerges through the cashew trees to run parallel with the beach for a short amount of time.
Mandrem Beach is the most beautiful and unspoilt of the northern beaches. It’s at least three miles long and as wide as two football pitches. When we revisited the ‘End of the World’ shack for a drink, we had to cross the same rickety bamboo bridge to get there. We were pleased to see Effi and Vincent, daughters Steffi and Tracey, and even Jostan (who is now four years old)are all still running the family business, which they tell us is doing very well.
We noticed that quite a few beach huts have been erected since our last visit and this is now becoming a popular area with foreigners staying for several months during the winter although it still remains relatively unspoilt and laid back.
Walk down the beach and have a look at the Goan fishing canoes, beautifully painted with names like Gracey. These beauties come alive at around 4pm to take their master for another night’s fishing. Try and visit Mandrem as the sand stretches for as far as the eye can see and it’s beautiful and even though it is becoming more popular, it is still easy to find your own space.
