Anjuna

Exercise caution when swimming as some beach areas have strong currents. Secure valuables as petty theft can occur in crowded markets and parties. Avoid isolated beaches after dark and be cautious with recreational substances as Goa strictly enforces anti-drug laws. Stay hydrated, protect against sun exposure, and use reputable transportation, especially when returning from late-night parties.

Peak season from November to February offers ideal weather (25-32°C) but higher prices and crowds. The shoulder months of October and March provide a good balance of weather and value. Summer (April-May) brings intense heat but lively pre-monsoon parties. Monsoon season (June-September) sees many establishments close, though some stay open with special monsoon packages and a more authentic, less touristy experience.
