If high temperature isn’t a concern, you can visit Goa in March. With day temperature averaging 27°C and falling to 21°C at night, the temperature will be comfortable. Also, the humidity level will fluctuate between 39% (comfortable) to 89% (very humid) but it will be never 100%. The 11 hours of sunshine will provide enough time to traverse Goa from north to south to explore all the hidden gems of the coastal state. At twilight, you can unwind at pubs and bars lined by popular beaches and streets.
March is the beginning of the shoulder season in Goa. The beaches look more serene and beautiful. Even the most popular beaches like Baga, Candolim, and Calangute have few tourists. Also, the beach shacks that increase in number during peak season are minimal during the shoulder season. Minimum crowd and activity would mean minimal distraction, more peace, solitude, and privacy. Also, the prices of hotels, villas, pubs, bars, and restaurants come down as soon as the crowd starts thinning.
A private pool villa in Goa will be more suitable for March vacations. Depending on your needs, you can choose a beachfront property where you can listen to the sound of waves in your bedroom and enjoy both sunrise and sunset on your private balcony. Also, you can rent a small, medium, or expansive villa according to your needs and budget. The advantage of renting a villa is you get more than a bedroom and meals. Here you get all the luxuries you can dream of in a vacation home. Also, you will have a concierge staff to assist you in your daily chores.
There are fewer tourists, but everything is still open. Also, beaches, streets, forts, sightseeing places, and entertainment spots are cleaner and greener in March. It is the positive side of shoulder season that you can take long walks on the beach without colliding and spend time in forts without getting pushed by others. Also, the absence of tourists has a direct effect on the quality of service provided. With fewer guests to entertain, tour guides, pubs, bars, casinos, and restaurants can provide better client service.
Goa weather in March is deeper into the summer season but the temperature remains comfortable, especially the first fortnight. You will be advised to avoid direct sun, especially between 12-4 PM. The temperature can reach 36°C in the later part of March. But the evenings remain pleasant throughout the month. March is a dry month with only 1 day of rainfall and precipitation remaining at 1.2mm. Dry days with long sunny days are suitable for sightseeing, especially nature parks, plantations, and beaches.
With most of the party crowd gone, March is the right time for serious Goa and nature lovers. The only tourists visiting this coastal state are true nature lovers and solitude seekers. They come in March so that they get more space, more attention, and more of everything. For example, the clear sky of March provides an uninterrupted view of sunrise and sunset. The days are sunny and the nights are starry. With no rain or thunderstorm in sight, you can rest assured of pleasant weather throughout your vacation.
March is good for the following activities:
Secluded beaches, calm sea, sunny days, starry nights, beach shacks, outdoor parties, long walks on the beach, beach volleyball, and sunbathing; if you like any of these activities, then March is the right time to hit a beach. Goa is the place where you have a choice of beaches. For more pleasure, you can rent an oceanfront property. Whenever you step out of your vacation home you are on the beach. Staying close to a beach will allow more time to enjoy your favorite activities. Also, you can access your beach house for drinks and refreshments.
The sea remains calm throughout March, so it’s the perfect time to enjoy water sports. Since the sun remains friendly and days are long in March, you can spend some more time with your water toy like a kayak or boat. Also, the calm and stable water makes scuba diving and snorkeling more enjoyable. Normal temperatures keep the sea calm in March. You can choose any water sport because all water activities are available in the shoulder season. Another advantage of shoulder season is it helps save lots of money on water activities. In other words, you can enjoy more activities and still have some money left in your pocket.
If you want to escape the heat, you can go to the Western Ghats for camping. Many natural waterfalls will provide you with quick relief from the heat of plain areas. Staying in a tent overnight will be a unique experience for you and your family. Also, you can enjoy a campfire and barbecue at night. There is little to worry about the safety of your family and belongings as you will remain under the safe custody of camping companies. Your villa staff can help plan a camping trip to the woods.
March is the time when you can go to view the wildlife this coastal state is known for. For wildlife viewing, you can go to Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary or the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary. Also, don’t forget to carry cameras because you will get spectacular views of dolphins leaping out of the sea, crocodiles basking under the sun, Black Panther, four-horned antelope, barking deer, Indian gaur, giant squirrel, mouse deer, block sloth bear, leopard, wild boar, and wild dogs. Seeing birds flying high in the sky will be a memorable experience.
Holi comes in March and so is Easter. Also, you can enjoy the Shigmo Festival and Kalas Utsav. It is a festival season when you can enjoy Goa traditional food. During festivals, streets are lined with shops selling locally-made food, drinks, and memorabilia. It is the time for discount shopping. You can walk down the streets sampling street food items and buy traditional Goan products. Also, festivals are the right time to become a local and enjoy the festivities like locals do. Festivals will make your vacations more enjoyable and colorful.
March is shoulder season so all the hotels, resorts, and villas cost less. In other words, you have more options for accommodation. It is the time when you can enjoy your vacation in a villa. Rent a villa where you get all the luxuries of a seven-star hotel and the warmth of a home away from home. Enjoy your days relaxing and reveling in the luxuries of your villa and access beach shacks and flea markets to enjoy Goa night life.
