Patnem Beach stretches quiet and uncrowded, a crescent of sand where fishermen still pull in morning nets. South Goa's southernmost shore, it holds onto the unhurried rhythm that's slipped away elsewhere. Village life hums gently around you: beach shacks serving fresh catch, yoga studios tucked in palm groves, the occasional cow wandering past. Palolem's buzz sits just over the headland when you want it. But here, time moves differently. Slower. Softer. As it should.
