Palolem Beach in Goa



Palolem beach in Goa is situated 2 km west of Chaudi. Goa Palolem beach is one of the most ideal beaches in this Indian state of Goa. It has a curved shaped bay lined with swaying coconut palms folded by a pair of rocky crags. The white sand beach in an arch is picture perfect. The village located nearby has several cafes and souvenir stalls catering to day-trippers and vacationers who arrive in flocks on sightseeing tours of the beaches. Despite the commercialization, Palolem remains a traditional village, where the easy velocity of life is dictated by the three daily rounds of todi-tapping. This stretch of white sand dominates the southern coast of Goa. Until a few years back, it was among the virgin beaches of Goa. However, it couldn't escape from the eyes of the tourists. Although a few developments have taken place, the beach still has a comforting sensation to it.

Until recently foreign tourists were few and far between in Palolem. Over the past five or six years, however, increasing numbers of budget travelers have begun to find their way here, and the village is now far from the undiscovered idyll it used to be, with a string of cafes, Karnatakan hawkers and a tent camp crowding the beachfront.

At the northern end of the beach is a fresh water stream. Across this stream is a tiny, undeveloped island that can be accessed by just swimming across during low tide. However, it is not very safe to do so during high tide. The other attractions on this beach are the Dolphin cruises and the fishing trips. These are offered at quite a reasonable rate.

Tour of Goa Beaches - No other Indian beaches can match the popularity of the beaches in Goa. Besides their gorgeous beauty, the Goa beaches are also equipped with almost all the facilities. The most developed beach segment in Goa is the Calangute-Baga-Anjuna belt, north of Panaji. There is a cluster of forty spectacular beaches. Though all of them cannot be called swimmer-friendly beaches, yet that does not curb their charm. The north Goa beaches in Pernem subdivision have a primitive appeal. The unspoilt beauty of Keri, Arambol and Mandrem and Morji is what many a beach lover would trade the world for. If loneliness is what you are looking for, the Agonda Beach might just be the perfect place for you. The Colva Beach, to the north of Palolem is a captivating stretch of sand that sports a carnival atmosphere.
