South Goa's Activity Hub
If you are staying in South Goa but still want the convenience of water sports, Colva is the place to be. You'll find jet skis, parasailing, and speed boats right at the main entrance. Because it's a flat, wide beach, the swimming is generally safe and shallow, heavily monitored by lifeguards.
The main circle of Colva is highly commercialized, featuring everything from fast-food chains to massive seafood restaurants catering to large groups.
Heritage & Connections
Just a short walk from the beach is the 17th-century Our Lady of Mercy Church, famous for the Menino Jesus (Infant Jesus) statue, which hosts an enormous festival every October. Furthermore, Colva's proximity to Margao makes it incredibly easy to access via train (Madgaon Station) or bus.
