More about Palolem

This beach is one of the most ideal beach in the state of Goa. It has a crescent shaped bay lined with swaying coconut palms hemmed by a pair of rocky crags. The white sand beach in an arc is picture perfect. The village located nearby has several cafes and souvenir stalls catering to day-trippers and vacationers who arrive in droves on sightseeing tours of the beaches. Despite the commercialisation, Palolem remains a traditional village, where the easy pace of life is dictated by the three daily rounds of todi-tapping.

One of the most popular beach in Goa, Palolem is a beach of white sand facing a blue bay between two headlands. The little wooded islands on the northern headland look interesting and if you're keen, you can persuade one of the fishermen to ferry you across.

This is an ideal beach that any tourist would be looking for. Besides relaxing on the beach you can also venture into the sea where you will be able to spot the dolphins.
