Palolem Beach is far more relaxed that many of the other beaches in Goa. Hoards of tourists flock to Goan beaches every year, but Palolem seems to avoid that mad rush. Of course, it gets it fair share of kids drinking and smoking pot on the beach, though there is a far more geratic and laid back vibe in Palolem than at the other beaches. Even the cows find it relaxing.
