Worth knowing
Monsoon — Beach Shacks Closed
South Goa beach season ends June–September. Inland attractions (spice farms, temples) remain open. Dudhsagar Falls is at its fullest, but the jeep safari to the falls is closed June–September and reopens around early October — monsoon views are from the train only; October–November is when you can reach the pool.
