Goa Beaches
Palolem Beach
Palolem
is Goa's one of the most beautiful and idyllic beach and it has 1.5 km crescent
shaped beach. The beach lies on the southern coastline of Goa amidst outstanding
natural beauty.
The sweeping crescent of white sand is fringed by a shady rim of coconut palms
and the whole beach is hemmed in at either end by rocky crags.
Palolem is about 37 kms from Margao. Just west of Chaudi one of the most enchanting
beaches in Goa relatively deserted, with backdrop of Western ghats, situated
in Southern Taluka of Canacona.
It is comparatively fast emerging as a popular spot for day-trippers from Colva
and Calangute. Many travellers drift down from the northern beaches to spend
days, weeks or even months chilling out here.
There is very little development and it's extremely laid-back. Most accommodation
is in simple, rickety beach buts or villagers homes, with a handful of more
solid guesthouses scattered around.
Palolem Village is nestled in the palms backed from the beach. With the large
influx of tourists to the Northern beaches and the resultant increasing commercialisation
of these places.
Palolem fits the bill and in recent years, more and more tourists have been
making a beeline for this palm fringed golden beach.
