MORJIM BEACH HIGHLIGHTS
- Morjim Beach is most renowned for the Olive Ridley turtles that have their nesting ground here. The Morjim residents have named the strong breeze that blows here " the turtle wind" as it often attracts these distinctive turtles. The wind also attracts kite-surfers, who have made Morjim Beach their northern hub!
- "Net pullers" have become another distinctive feature on Morjim Beach. These men make their living from netting fish, which they later dry and sell as palm fertilizer.
