Palolem is a beach of white sand facing a blue bay between two headlands. The little wooded islands on the northern headland look interesting but as we've never ventured onto any of them we don't know what landing on them would be like.. Tourists have discovered Palolem and so there are a few shacks selling seafood snacks, souvenirs and clothes of the shapeless, bright, informal kind. Palolem beach 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.

Scenic Beauty

Palolem beach is one of the most ideal beaches in this Indian 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.

Boat Trips

The local fishermen offer dolphin watching and fishing boat trips. The closeby Agonda beach is one of the best spots for sea angling in Goa or India. Soormai, salmon and mullet are amongst the catches.

Food and Drinks

Shacks line the northern end of the shore and serve reasonably good food and drinks. The shacks at the southern end offer better ambiance.
