hi alz,
most of the older resorts,especially those by the seaside have slopes for easy access by wheel chair.All the same,since many of these resorts have rooms with a gallery ,all situated at the ground floor ,that should not be a problem.In fact,all beach territory can be easily accessed.Old Goa too can be easily checked out,including all ferry crossings.Long distance can be covered by hiring of vans.

Fishing can be done at DonaPaula which is tourist point,in Panjim,,,,,and at the Mandovi River or the panjim river.Infact you'd get alot of opportunity for that,your local hotelier will brief u well on that.

While in calanguate beach,Souzalobos,,,is a must-visit restuarant.Anjuna is good beach for shopping of curios,,,,and make sure u taste the local booze,made from cashew ,,,,called fenni,,,,,,or from coconut,,,,,,,,called ,maad......and try out the lighter version of fenni,called,urrak,it goes well with limejuice or coconut water.

YOu can get antics and curios at mapusa,at the friday baazar,,and thursdays at Anjuna,,,,people are helpful,and always smiling and curteous if you treat them with respect,and go all out to help you.Remember,everything is bargainable.colva is famous for its white sand and clean beach.If you get a chance,visit Palolem beach,its quite serene and peaceful,and a replica of the carribean,,but is less frequented cause its 40kms from mapusa.
oct onwasrds is the right time to visit goa,,,,the weather will be pleasant.Hope u enjoy your stay.
