The short answer
When to go to Betalbatim Beach
The most comfortable window is November to February, when it is dry and sunny and the shacks are open. March is warm and increasingly humid, and April and May are hot and sticky. From June to September the monsoon brings heavy rain, a closed sea and a swimming ban. For older travellers, December to February gives the coolest evenings but also the biggest crowds, so book rooms early.
