Polem Beach
The southernmost beach in Goa, close to the Karnataka border. It is small and undeveloped, often called 'the last beach in Goa.'
Polem Beach is in Loliem-Polem village and is the southernmost beach in Goa state. Beyond it to the south lies Karnataka. The small bay is surrounded by rocks and coconut palms, with only a few scattered huts and fishing boats, and very few visitors. It suits those who want to see 'undeveloped Goa.' From the clifftop nearby, you can look out over the mountains and islands of the Karnataka coast. It is about 20 km from Palolem and a 30-minute drive along National Highway 66, so it can be combined with Galgibaga Beach. Facilities are minimal, and there are no lifeguards, so bring your own drinking water and snacks. It is not advisable to visit during monsoon season.
