Places to visit in North Goa

[DaisyIbby]

I am going to be staying near Calangute beach and Baga beach in North Goa. Our location was chosen because of mainly the beaches.

Other than spending time at our resort and on the beach we would also like to visit places in Goa and would like some recommendations on the places to visit in North Goa.

We have an interest in many different things so we are open to all kinds of recommendations for places to visit.
