2.  Palolem worth visiting?

   Palolem was recommended to us as one of the most beautiful beaches in south Goa. A place where we could relax, unwind and recharge. A place where the all-night techno parties and commonplace clichés found further north were minimal. A place more isolated, more tranquil, and perhaps more to our tastes.

3. Which is better Agonda or Palolem?

   Agonda is more chilled out and has a spectacular, clean beach which is fantastic for walking along, I'd say Palolem beach is better for swimming, is busier and has slightly better food option, be sure to eat at Ourem 88 restaurant if you can, it's one of the best in Goa.
