Patnem Beach is one of our favourite places, the reason we like this particular one is that there are less crowds compared to Palolem which is not far up the road. There are a number of places to eat and drink, our favourites are Jaali Cafe, Nada Brahama, Kala Bhaia, Casa Jaali, Patnem Chai Shop, Sushi Cafe to name but a few. The beach is clean and you always see people doing their bit to remove garbage in their morning walks. It is very easy to get around Patnem, plenty of tuk tuks during the season and most properties will arrange a taxi also. Lots of beach huts to choose from, we have our regular Moonstar Huts which are at the far end of the beach away from the strip, they are cute and basic with no hot water or AC but we just love it there.

Patnem was the nicest place we visited in Goa by far. Just the right mix of bars/restaurants on the beach. The beach is lovely not too deserted and just lovely. Have good nightlife without being too crazy. Everyone are so friendly and you get to know people both locals and visitors very quickly. If you are after a bit of shopping, Patnem is ok, but Palolem even better. We did a back water boat trip seeing Eagles being feed, from the far end of Palolem beach (coming from Patnem), which I would highly recommend. Ask for Mr. Big who is a local very colourful dressed local man, who arranges the trips. He hangs around the last bar on the beach. Think it was 200rs each. So worth the money. Laguna restaurant on the road past La la is also worth a visit. Boomshanka bar best place to watch sunset, also near La la land. Cow Corner also worth a visit for dinner and Chai shop for dead cheap breakfast.

Patnem is a lovely beach in a bay that protects it from large waves, most of the time. Restaurant shacks, with sunbeds in front and shanty rooms behind, provide quite remarkable food all along the bay. Busier in the middle and quieter either end. Live music, somewhere, most evenings but usually finished before 11pm. Wonderful sunsets but too many dogs around the shacks and on the beach causing nuisance, mess and often noise at night

Great beach shacks, all with sun beds and parasols. Some good food at the shacks, very reasonable prices. A lovely beach and we loved the walk from Patnem to Palolem. Some lovely shops selling the usual stuff but some originals too. A very chilled out place to stay.

Patnem was a great place to base ourselves as we explored the local beaches and villages. A special mention has to go to Secret Garden resort for a wonderful and relaxing stay. Also Maria's restaurant in patnem was a great place to try local, homemade goan food with wonderful hosts.

Beautiful sandy beach with warm sea. It’s not a swimming beach, lots of waves to jump or ride. There are many beach bars and restaurants which also have loungers and umbrellas outside for you to use. The small main street has tourist shops on either side selling the usual clothes, jewellery, instruments, hangings etc. We came beginning of April, which is the time the season is winding down, so very quiet, but still glorious weather and everything still open - just quiet! No ATM, but a rickshaw to nearby Chaudi is R100 and a nice trip out. Trip to Palolem is also R100.
