Pololem Travel Guide

Palolem (yes correct spelling)! used to be an idyllic, deserted place. Now days though, even though still beautiful, tourism has ruined it somewhat. The beach is alot busier, and girls have ignored culture and have taken to sunbathing topless-this is frowned upon by locals. My advise would be to keep your top on, to gain respect. Also do NOT wander around in bikini's along the street, it not only looks ridiculous but its lack of respect for yourself and for the locals. Palolem is a place i have still gone back to time and again even with its tourism and ignorant package tourists. It draws you in somehow, especially with its relaxed lifestyle. Also without the wonderful dogs, it wouldnt be the same. Most dogs have had their injections and rabies in Goa is not usual. Dogs do appreciate some food and water (seek out the skinny ones). Keep your left overs from your meals.  

at the opposite side of the island, near the black rocks(to the left if u're facing the sea). there's a place called         "the found things", a nice yard with coconut trees and high shacks, they make good food althoug palolim is full of great restaurant. if u travel that way, enjoy.

Very nice place with beautiful beach, calm waters, palmtrees as far as the eye can see and amazing sunsets. Very cheap accommodations here a few meters from the beach.
