PALOLEM GOA BEACH
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.
