Easy transfers to and in Cavelossim Beach
- Use a car with a driver for trips to Margao and Betul; roads are narrow and the distances add up.
- Carry water, a hat and some cash, as ATMs and card machines can be limited near the beach.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
