Palolem
Palolem's calm crescent-shaped bay with its naturally sheltered waters makes it the single best spot in Goa for kayaking and paddleboarding. Paddle out at sunrise when the water is mirror-flat and the beach is nearly empty — it's the kind of morning that makes you want to stay in Goa forever.
Kayaks can be rented directly from beach hut operators — no advance booking needed in the morning.
