Palolem Beach

A popular tourist attraction in South Goa, the beach is spread amidst a beautiful coast surrounded by hillocks and palm and coconut trees. The beach is an ideal place for different types of water sports. Home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa, Palolem is a natural bay surrounded by lofty headlands on either side.

CULTURE

Unfortunately Palolem has been saturated by travellers, hawkers and over priced sellers: it is sometimes difficult to walk up the beach at high tide due to the restaurants jutting into the cresting waves and you will certainly be asked about your plans for dinner a few times.

SHOPPING

Palolem is not a great place to shop but there are great crafts people on the beaches. There are some mini bazaars on the beach front. Some of the stores are now owned by westerners offering western labels at cheap but fixed prices.
