Palolem
BeachPalolem
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.
