depends how much its raining and also you can make it fun by driving around in a car, its green all over and dont go too far, some beaches are rough....you'll be fine..its a frame of mind and how you go about in goa...

Hi Ajay - the water is pretty rough. There's a strong undertow and each year there are drownings. I would definitely not recommend swimming during monsoon.

Some people enjoy Goa (or other parts of India) in monsoon but since Goa is primarily seasonal many places will be closed (markets, restaurants, etc.). It would not be choice of time to travel there.

Thanks for your suggestions.. as we are already booked all tickets and hotel.. we have to go.. as kids vacation will over after 1st..goa was always on top of my list for this year..
sure i m not going to swim in beach.. as i m not very good in swimming.. as we are family of 12 peoples include kids.. i was just wondering even enjoying beach with little bit in the water.. is ok or its total dangerous.. do they have danger ropes like they do in Kerala.. no one corss danger ropes.. or u have to guess urself for danger area..

It is okay as long as you don't go in too far and especially okay as long as there is someone always with you. You can definitely get your feet wet - maybe a little more! I don't think any of the beaches have any ropes because jet skis and boats are around. Go to Britos at Baga beach for breakfast or lunch. You'll be right at the water's edge - and Britos is open year round. Don't let the weather deter you - you'll have a good time in Goa!

Thanks dona.. its really help.. will sure go to restaurant too..
