Canacona taluk, Administrative division in South Goa, India

The taluk encompasses several coastal villages including Patnem, Chaudi, Poinguinim, Loliem-Polem, and Agonda, stretching along the Arabian Sea at 9 meters elevation.

The region, formerly known as Kanvapura, became part of Goa in 1794 after belonging to the Kingdom of Soonda within the Vijayanagara Empire.

The Parthagali Math, a centuries-old ashram, stands as the main Hindu institution in the region, displaying a combination of Portuguese and Hindu architecture.

The Canacona railway station connects to major destinations, while National Highway NH17 provides direct access to the cities of Margao and Panaji.

The Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, the second-largest in Goa, protects numerous species within the boundaries of this southern administrative division.
