• Sunscreen is a must.
• Carry mineral water; make certain you buy it from a genuine dealer. Drink often
• Refuse plastic carry bags when you go shopping. Take your own carry bag. Keep Goa litter free and care for the environment. Venture into the sea ONLY if you are a good swimmer, and only at beaches manned by life guards. Drinking and swimming is more dangerous than drinking and driving.
• Seek information and assistance only from genuine Tourist Information Centre. Do not deal with touts and middlemen.
except during High ( 19-10-11 to 15-11-11) and Peak (24-12-11 to 07-01-12) seasons
