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.
