About Polem Beach

Polem Beach is a Pristine, Isolated beach located in South Goa Goa, drawing travellers seeking calm waters and solitude with its stretch of sand and clear Arabian Sea waters.

Best Time to Visit Polem Beach

The best time to visit Polem Beach is from October to March, when the weather is cool and dry, ideal for swimming and sunbathing on this remote beach near the Karnataka border. It’s one of the quietest beaches in Goa, with golden sand and clear water. There are a few basic shacks. From April to May, temperatures rise, but Polem remains almost deserted. You can enjoy swimming in the morning and evening. Carry your own supplies as shacks may be limited. It’s perfect for those seeking complete solitude. The monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rains and rough seas, making swimming dangerous. Access roads become muddy, and shacks close. It’s best to avoid during monsoon unless you’re an adventurous traveler.
