In South Goa, once again we decided to move around on a bike and visit the beaches which we had already shortlisted. We'd read a lot about the Palolem Beach and were to visit despite the two and half hours journey through the difficult passages of the mountains. The crescent shaped beach is surely one among the best destinations in Goa. With white sands, coconut palms, dolphin spotting trips, snorkeling and a lot more to offer one just can not miss going to this place. Palolem, locally also known as Palole is considered to be one of the safest beaches for swimming. However, the day we went there, swimming wasn't all that easy with the waves reaching heights of up to 7 feet and more. But, seeing others go neck deep in waters we just couldn't resist going further. It was pure FUN. I later also came to know that this beach had featured in a Hollywood movie. "The Bourne Supremacy". It has been showcased as the Indian residence of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon).
This man is about to catch the flying disc. Not only swimming but options for all kind of sports were available at Palolem.
This does not at all mean that the beach was crowded. It was quite peaceful and really relaxing!! The next time we go there I am determined to go to the place from where crescent shape of the beach can be captured properly. It really looks amazing that way. View the video captured at Palolem beach and listen to the song the waves at Palolem Beach Goa are used to sing. It's simply a very amazing Beach. An absolutely "must-visit" place if you are in Goa.
The photos and the video are captured using our Canon A710 IS Digital Camera
