Palolem - Voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Palolem sits like a pale half-moon, kissing the clear blue Arabian Sea. The water is so shallow that you can wade in really far and still be waist-deep! The cove is mostly serene but the waters are abundant with frolicking dolphins!

Palolem is the beach of Goa's southernmost town, Canacona. This crescent shaped bay pops up often in glossy holiday brochures more because of its photogenic location sand then as a bouquet of adventure sports. Spend your holidays in a shallow bay fringed with white sands and a swaying curtain of coconut palms with the village right behind it. Dive deep to meet the shy crabs and clustering sea mussels. Wake up to a great view of sunrise behind the thickly forested hilltop. Or just chase the fleeing waters at low tide on the tiny island at the northern end. This is a place to find yourself, because chances are there will be no one around.
