Fun At Mobor Beach, south goa |
Mobor beach
is situated just 2 kilometres to the south of Cavelossim beach and therefore
has very similar means of access, with many tourists choosing to arrive from
either Panaji, Margao or Vasca de Gama, by bus or train.
Mobor is
rich in natural beauty and very family-friendly, offering many coves which are
ideal for exploration.
Furthermore, its relative isolation and 10 kilometres of
fine white sand has made it one of Goa’s most exclusive beaches.
Around 10
years ago, barely any tourists were even aware of the existence of Mobor beach.

However, in recent times it has grown exponentially in popularity and now
typically attracts adventurous tourists due to its water sports offerings.
Unlike the
beaches at Miramar and a few other beaches in Goa, Mobor is not subject to any
noticeable undercurrents and therefore its waters provide the ideal conditions
for swimming and other underwater pursuits.
As such, Mobor beach possesses what
is widely thought of as the widest selection of water sports in Goa, with jet
skiing, parasailing and inflatables filling the sea.
There are, however, more
gentle activities on offer, such as deep-sea fishing trips, dolphin watching
excursions and tours offered by local fishermen around the area.

Mobor is now
also home to a wide variety of shops, which have appeared in response to the
increasing demands of tourism.
As you might
expect from one of Goa’s most exclusive beaches, luxury resorts have long been
the dominant form of accommodation. Situated on the beachfront, they offer a
wide variety of facilities and sophisticated restaurants.
However, this is not
to say that such hotels are the only accommodation option. In fact, many
locally run guesthouses still thrive if you venture around 1 kilometre inland.
You
can speak to local vendors or fishermen who will often be more than happy to
give you a rough idea of their location.

Mobor also
offers perhaps the most diverse range of dining options in Goa. The luxury
resorts offer gourmet food encompassing a range of different cuisines, whilst
traditional restaurants and food stalls are also present both along the
beachfront and further inland.
Food stalls provide an affordable source of food
and the opportunity to try out dishes unique to the local area. Mobor beach
caters primarily to the high-end traveller with its mass of luxury resorts and
restaurants.
However, many travellers on a budget also continue to enjoy what
it has to offer each year; immersing themselves in its natural beauty and wide
range of activities.
A visit to Mobor Beach is highly recommended, even if only
for a day.
