Overview: For years Palolem remained a secret holiday getaway 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.
Palolem's 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.
