Palolem Beach
A white sand paradise in South Goa, Palolem Beach is approximately 38 km from Madgaon in Cancona and is among the favorite attractions for travelers visiting Goa. Palolem Beach is largely unspoiled and is inhabited by both local fishermen and by foreign tourists who live in shacks along the shore or in the main village itself. Both ends of the beach consist of rocks jutting out into the sea. The depth of the sea increases gradually, being shallowest at the northern end of the beach, making it safe for average swimmers, and the currents are not fast. The highlight of Palolem Beach is the Dolphin spotting cruise.
Other main attractions at Palolem are the clean shoreline, beach shacks, and a few souvenir shops. Cossetted within lofty highlands on either side, Palolem Beach is adorned with tranquil surroundings. The entire stretch of the beach can be explored on foot in 15-20 minutes. Palolem Beach is also known for its silent noise parties.
