AVOID SEA SWIM

Enter the sea at your own peril. All beaches are marked with red flags, which means swimming in the monsoon is a no-no.

AVOID BIKES

It rains very heavy in Goa and visibility at times is low and roads are slippery. So, the best travel mode is car. As much as possible avoid two-wheelers.

AVOID QUARRIES

Most quarries in Goa are full of water in the rains. Unless you are a very confident swimmer, avoid jumping into these quarries.

DRIVE WITH CARE

Please avoid rash riding or driving as the roads, at times mixed with unseen oil, are dangerously slippery.
