Most of Palolem's late-night dancing happens at the Silent Noise parties on Saturdays at Neptune Point, a small headland between Palolem and Colomb Bay. Three DJs broadcast at once on different channels; everyone wears headphones and you switch with a button on the side. The novelty wears off fast, but the silence between songs — when fifty people are jumping but you can hear the surf — is genuinely strange.
Tickets are sold at small shops in Palolem during the day. The party runs from about 9pm to 4am; it is best to arrive before midnight while the trance and house channels are at their peak.
