3 Days in Morjim for a Romantic Getaway
Morjim is one of Goa's most peaceful beaches, perfect for couples looking to unwind. With its soft white sand, swaying palms, and fewer crowds, it's ideal for quiet walks and lazy afternoons. The Russian influence adds a quirky charm, and the sunsets here are simply magical. I've spent many evenings here with my partner, and it never gets old.
