Have you heard of Polem Beach? Does Goa stop with Agonda and Palolem for you? Let me show you what more is available in that southern pocket of Goa.
Goa shares its borders with Karnataka in the South and Maharashtra in the North. Let's explore Goa's last proper beach, before the Karnataka coastline comes
Watch my Vlog to know how I crossed over the Karnataka border checkpost into Polem beach and how my stay was
I travelled with my family, and my little son, loved the place and the space the beach had amidst the properties. You had your own space outside the beach hut to put your chairs and sit, without feeling boxed. There were less than 10 other tourists living on the beach, so it makes you feel that the place has enough space for everyone
I ended up travelling during a Solar eclipse and had to stay indoors for the first half of the next day. I flew my drone and went into the sea in the evening, when the sea was a little calmer
Getting to Polem
If you are coming from Mumbai/Pune, its a lot of effort to drive to the Southernmost point beach. If you are visiting Palolem/Agonda and staying there, this could be a day trip to explore the place and if you feel comfortable you can come over here.
If you are coming from Bangalore/Kerala/Mangalore, you would enter through Karwar. What that means is Polem is then your first beach for entry through the border.
If you are coming by Indian Railways, then get off at Canacona Railway station, and if you are coming by Bus from Bangalore the place to get off is Chaudi. Both these places are about 10-15 kms from Polem beach. With a new highway built the travel time is less than 15-20 minutes from the railway station.
If you are flying in, this beach is easily a 90 minute drive across the hills from the airport.
