From April to May, temperatures rise, but Caranzalem remains serene and uncrowded. You can still enjoy swimming in the morning and evening. There are a few shacks, but carry water. It’s a good time for budget travelers seeking peace. The monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rains and rough seas, making swimming dangerous. Most shacks close, but the beach becomes lush and green. If you enjoy solitude, Caranzalem offers a calm monsoon retreat.
