South Goa has its own share of beaches, though they are not as famous as the beaches of North Goa. South Goa has some of Goa's best temples, waterfalls, hill spots, paddy fields and coconut gardens. The main city in South Goa is Margao and one could go to visit Vasco da Gama, the industrial ad commercial city of Goa. It also has the Naval Aviation Museum. The museum showcases the history of Indian Naval Aviation, various aircraft, weapons, sensors and safety equipment.
The beaches in south Goa extend from Vasco da Gama and Bogmalo to Palolem Beach. The stretch includes Bogmalo, Velsao, Majorda, Colva, Benaulim, Betul, Canaguinim, Agonda and Palolem.
Some of these beaches have a history added to them and some are made famous by the luxury hotels they house.
