'''Querim''' or Keri is a village on the [[river mouth]] of the [[Terekhol River|Tiracol River]], part of the [[Pernem taluka|Pernem sub-division]] of [[North Goa]], [[India]]. It is the northwesternmost point of the state, known for [[Querim Beach]], the historic Church of St. Francis Xavier and a nearby [[Fort Tiracol|Portuguese fortress]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.forttiracol.in/|title=Best Luxury Hotels,Beaches Resort And Royal Villas In Goa|website=www.forttiracol.in}}</ref>

A road connects the village to nearby [[Paliem|Paliyem]], and a [[ferry]] connects to [[Tiracol]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rnd.goa.gov.in/content.php?id=17|title=River Navigation Department Goa|website=www.rnd.goa.gov.in}}</ref> The closest is [[Pernem]].

==Querim Beach==
[[Querim Beach]] is the sandy coastline of the Querim village. It is the largest northernmost beach in [[Goa]]. The beach comprises a long stretch of sand with a few rocky outcrops, rows of trees and a river inlet of Tiracol River. It is located to the north of the [[Arambol beach]] and [[Arambol|village]], but in order to reach there by foot, one has to walk through the hill and jungle between a Sweet Water Lake in [[Paliem|Paliyem]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Sitting pretty at the tip of Goa|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Sitting-pretty-at-the-tip-of-Goa/articleshow/55693996.cms|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=November 30, 2016}}</ref>{{clarify| through a hill between a lake?|date=January 2021}}
