Sightseeing:
Taxi the blue expanse in boats with local fishermen. For the explorers there is Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, the five-century-old Parthagal math, the Zambaulim and Fatorpa temples, and the centuries old ?hero stones? at Loliem that recorded historic events of the time.
Activities:
You can loll around on hammocks sun-bathing and enjoying the sea breeze, go dolphin-spotting in hired fishing boats; or go for long walks. Of course it goes without saying, that you must check out the fantastic local Goan cuisine and drinks.

Palolem, in south Goa, is a largely unspoiled beach inhabited by local fishermen and quiet tourists. This crescent-shaped beach is about a mile long with rocks jutting out into the sea on either ends of the beach. Its ideal for the uninitiated as the depth of the sea increases gradually and there are no strong currents. Away from the bustle of the city, all you can see is white sand kissed by clear blue waters.
