Honeymoon & Butterfly islands sit off the shallows.

Beach, the closest of the places we cover nearby.
Maintained even off-season, better than many peers.
A café strip with a reliable, stunning sunset.
The Scene
The beach curves with soft sand lined by palms and cafés. Two water-front islands, Honeymoon and Butterfly, sit just off the shallows, and cows often rest along the sand. The sunset is consistently stunning, and the beach stays well-kept even off-season.
Getting Around
Parking is available but ₹140 for a car, higher than most South Goa beaches. In the monsoon most shacks and beach facilities close, so it's best avoided then.
Local Tips
In season, Palolem is regarded as the best place in Goa for kayaking, the islands are easiest explored by kayak when the sea is calm. Mornings are the freshest and least crowded; being popular, it fills at peak hours.
