About Canacona Tourism
Located at the southernmost tip of Goa, the region of Canacona
is known for its picture-postcard locations and beautiful beaches. It
is bounded by the Sahaydri hills of the Western Ghats on one side and
by the Arabian Sea on the other. The name Canacona is thought to be a derivative of the word Konkan and this area was once a district of the former Kingdom of Soonda.
Its villages are situated in low-lying areas and are representative of
a strong Indo- Portuguese influence, in the culture, people, food and
lifestyle. Canacona is one part of Goa where the hillocks look out directly into the sea, giving it an interesting geological identity.
