Palolem Beach

Palolem Beach has retained a cool, calm composition of a yogi compared to the rest of Goa. The shoreline is dotted with wooden bungalows, restaurants where you can dine with your feet in the water, plenty of nearby souvenir shops, a main street with clothing shops, and a string of hotels. It takes only 15 -20 minutes to walk the whole stretch – and all bare-footed if you wish, as everywhere in Palolem – including the main street – are covered in soft, white sands. Palolem Beach is essentially the quintessential way to take respite from the stress that exploring around India instills in travelers. However seasoned an explorer you may consider yourself, you’ll know what we mean when you arrive. For a little taste of what we mean, you might want to read: Palolem Beach is pristine and far cleaner than other shorelines in India. It is much more relaxing and as tourism is now a little more common here, there is far less attention afforded you from street sellers or people looking for a photo op. Plus, hygiene and service standards are a lot more positive than elsewhere. It was the best decision we ever made to get over the stress of three weeks traveling around India with a break in this paradisical place. So we highly recommend you do the same and leave it for a delicious, stress-free treat at the end. Palolem Beach should sit on your palette like a succulent dessert as you fly back home. Similarly, you should book your flight back from the closest international airport, which is Mumbai
