Overview: For years Palolem remained a secret to all but the most independent traveller. Situated towards the southern tip of Goa, twenty miles south of Margao, it has now been discovered but due to strict planning restraints tourism is kept in check. The crescent shaped bay is lined with a beautiful white sand beach and backed with groves of coconut palms. Either side of the bay is a rocky headland covered in thick black forest and offshore is a tiny island whose only permanent inhabitants are a colony of black-faced langur monkeys. During December and January the beach swells with day-trippers who come to escape the more commercial resorts but outside this peak season Palolem returns to its sedate pace.
