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.
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.
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.
