About Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach is a beautiful South Goa Goa beach offering golden sand, clear waters and a relaxing coastal escape popular with sunbathers and beach lovers.

Best Time to Visit Pebble Beach

The best time to visit Pebble Beach is from October to March, when the weather is cool and dry, perfect for exploring this unique beach covered in pebbles instead of sand. Located near Palolem, it’s a small, secluded spot ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The clear waters during these months reveal colorful fish. From April to May, the heat increases, but Pebble Beach remains less visited. The pebbles get hot under the sun, so wear footwear. Early mornings are best for a swim or snorkel. Carry your own snacks as there are no shacks. The monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rains and rough seas, making swimming and snorkeling dangerous. Access paths become slippery, and the beach can be cut off during high tide. It’s best to avoid during monsoon.
