Mobor

Mobor is 16km south of Colva at he southern end of the Salcete coastline, where the river Sal meets with Arabian Sea. The Sal river forms the beautiful Mobor Peninsula as it cuts a broad swathe when it nears Arabian Sea. Till the late 1980s, this was just a barren stretch of sand with one village (cavelossim), a few fisherman's huts and long stretchs of sand used for drying fish...until The Leela and other five star hotels moved in and colonised the entire stretch. Today, it has a series of luxury resorts on both the sea and riverside.
But there are few places as pictureque as the mouth of the Sal River, where the Mobor sandbank ends and the beautiful Betul hillock rises on opposite bank. make it a point to go there along the beach, either walking or by cycle, as it's getting to sunset.
