Mandrem

It has two main beaches: Junas and Ashvem.

The village has 11 wards.[4]

The name 'Mandrem' has its roots in the Arabic word 'Mudras' (transl. teacher). Under the Arabs' rule, Mandrem hosted a horse market in a place called Alkhand, with horses imported from Saudi Arabia. The village was known for its exotic palm trees, toddy tapping, cashew feni and fishing.[4]

Mandrem Beach is a white sand beach with clear water. The beach of Mandrem lies between the twin beaches of Ashwem and Arambol. This beach is a quiet and peaceful beach. The beauty of Mandrem Beach is especially during the High Tide time when the seawater rushes into the Mandrem Creek or River. This Mandrem creek moves parallel to the waterline. Mandrem has a small fishing community and occasionally one might see local fishermen hauling their catch from the sea.
