South Goa is one of the two districts in the beautiful coastal state of Goa in India.

These are the perfect spots to try out exciting water sports activities such as scuba diving and jet skiing. You can also plan a trip to one of South Goa’s lovely cities, such as Margaon or Mormugao for a taste of local culture.
