From dawn till dusk

At Palolem, time comes to a halt. There is nothing to do except eat, sleep and get a tan. People sit by the beach, under the umbrellas throughout the day reading books and chatting with friends and loved ones. Pic taken in Jan '07.

Nirvana on the Rocks

Lot of tourists swim to the rock outcrop in the sea. They sit there for hours looking at the sky and at the people on the shore. I did not get there as i am not a confident swimmer. Next time i get to Palolem, i am going to the rock, and will see what the world looks like from the top of it. Photograph taken at Goa - Jan '07.

What a tan ?

Goa is the best place to get a tan. Palolem, Jan '07.

Fishing boats at Palolem

Busy morning at Palolem. Fishermen try to make a quick buck by taking tourists on a short trip into the sea for dolphin spotting. The trip includes stopping at Butterly beach and honeymoon beaches, that are not accessible otherwise. Taking a boat ride is the only way to get there. The boat cruise costs Rs. 200 per head.

Beach Play

Lots of children play throughout the day at Palolem Beach, Goa. Jan '07. Time seems to come to a stop here.
