What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the mesmerizing beauty of the Keri Sea Caves, particularly the stunning blue waters and dramatic cliffs. The Mizithres viewpoint is a highlight for its breathtaking panoramas. While access can be tricky due to tides, many find the experience rewarding, especially when explored by boat.
"Check for water level. This was almost full of water. There was even a red flag warning put on the beach as you approach the caves.
Normally, you can just walk to the caves but because it was high tide, i had to climb the rocks to reach the caves.
But I can see the charm of these caves in low tides. Do visit this hidden gem of a place."

"I visited Querim Cave recently and it turned out to be one of my favorite hidden spots in North Goa. It’s a peaceful, natural cave by the sea with amazing views through the rock opening — especially beautiful at sunset.
I got there by road, riding a scooter to Querim (Keri) Beach, which is the easiest and safest way. From there, it’s a short walk along the coastal path.
I would recommend going during low tide and daylight hours and don’t go alone if you’re unfamiliar with the area"

"Not well-maintained or organised place.
Usually it's less crowded.
While our visit the place was closed due to bad weather. But no proper updates anywhere.
You can get some normal pictures with beach that you can get anywhere.
The way was beautiful with greenish trees on both sides of road.
To reach this place from north goa, we had to cross the small mountain. I added the videos too.
The picture I added is from querim beach where you can see red flag showing the danger zone."
