'''Nerul''' is a village in [[North Goa]]'s [[Bardez]] taluka. It lies along the route to the coastal town of [[Candolim]], with which it is linked via a bridge. For the purposes of the Census, it is considered as a census town.

==Setting==
Nerul is surrounded by rivers on three sides of the village -- north, west and east. On its east side, it is linked to the village of [[Reis Magos]], which also houses an epynomyous fort and a jetty. It has thus been a fishing village, though changing now with the growth of tourism in the vicinity.

Close to Nerul are the villages of [[Marra, Goa|Marra]], [[Pilerne]], [[Candolim]] and the historic [[Fort Aguada|Aguada]], which houses a fort of the same name.
