Colva is one of the best-known beaches in South Goa, with a long stretch of sand, beach shacks, water sports and a busy village centre. It is part of the Salcete coast, close to Margao, and is popular with families and with visitors who want a lively beach without the intensity of North Goa. Our Goa Airport to Colva transfer takes you from Dabolim straight to your hotel.
