GLOBAL TERRORISM WARNING
You should be aware of the risk
of indiscriminate terrorist attacks in
public places anywhere in the world. Be
vigilant, and take sensible precautions.
Location : 11-km South Of
Colva, South Goa Nearby Attraction: Colva Beach, Mabor Best Time To Visit: November To March
Sleepy Cavelossim, straddling
the coast road 11-km south of Colva, is the last major settlement in
southwest Salcete: its only claim to fame. A short way beyond the village's
picturesque church square, a narrow lane veers left across an open expanse
of paddy fields to the Cavelossim-Assolna ferry crossing near the mouth of
the Sal River.
If one is heading south to Canacona, turn left off the ferry and carry on as
far as Assolna Bazaar, clustered around a junction on the main road. A right
turn at this crossroads puts you on track for Canacona.
MABOR
Carry straight on at the junction just past the square in Cavelossim and
one'll eventually arrive at Mobor, where Colva beach fades into a rounded
sandy spur at the mouth of the Assolna River. This would be an exquisite
spot if it weren't the site of South Goa's largest, and most obtrusive,
package tourist enclave.
Crammed together on to a narrow spit of dunes between the surf and estuary,
the holiday inns and beach resorts combine to create a holiday camp ambience
that has as little to do with Goa as their architecture.
By Air
The nearest airport is at Dabolim, which is 29
km from Panaji.
By Rail
The nearest railway station is at Karmali, which is 11 km from Panaji and 35 km
from Margao.
By Road
There are frequent transport facilities to reach the Cavelossim Beach from
Margao. Private taxis and autos are available from the Airport and the railway
station to reach the beach.
Shopping:
You can look around for souvenirs and gifts to take back home from the local
beachside shops as well as the markets.
Tip: To
avoid Bombay
going north
'Poona' is the
quickest bypass
route as Bombay
is best avoided
