Worth knowing
Monsoon — Beach Shacks Closed
Goa monsoon (June–September) — most beach shacks and water sports close. The landscape is lush and green; tourist prices drop 40%. Strong currents make swimming dangerous. Dudhsagar Falls is in full flow, but the jeep safari to its base is closed June–September (it reopens around early October) — in monsoon you see it only from the Vasco–Londa train line.
