Anyone been to Palolem beach recently?

Hi There

We are travelling about North Goa at the moment, and sea's a bit rough! not so good for not so strong swimmer

Anyone been to Palolem beach lately? we heard there was quiet a heavy monsoon this year and that it might not be in a good condition to go there?

Thanks for your help

Nope. Apparently there is a stinking whale carcase driving people away.

Personally, I'd go a long way to see a dead whale of that size, but you can't even see it because it's been buried in a shallow trench.

The sea is quite 'flat" in the mornings. The breeze turns onshore around 1.30 and then it gets a bit choppy.
I don't like Palolem and many people who were there 5 years ago, or more, don't go there now. Many still love it. Go there, have a look and let us know.

Hi

We just came back from 2 weeks in Goa and loved Palolem.

Couldn't see any evidence of the dead whale people are talking about and it certainly wasn't stopping people going into the sea.

Sea was as rough in Palolem as it was in North Goa but we loved it. Alot of beach shacks were still being built but many were up by the time we left.

We much prefered Palolem to Baga - Palolem had quite a few tourists (but wasn't crouded) whereas there was hardly anyone in Baga and the place was dead.

Loved Dropardi restaurant - superb. We stayed at Ciaran's and also the Palolem Guest House - both good for slightly different reasons!

In conclusion - go to palolem - it'll have much more atmosphere than any of the other beach resorts right now and there wasn't a dead whale to be seen!

Cheers
