Anjuna in February
Goa, India
Go in February — Carnival energy peaks, crowds ease slightly from January, and sea temps remain warm at 27°C for swimming.
Peak crowds
February is one of Anjuna's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Wednesday for the flea market. New Year parties are legendary but insanely crowded.
February in Anjuna is the technical peak. Rainfall under 5mm, daytime 22-32C, humidity at 60 percent — the lowest of the year. Wednesday Flea Market hits 8,000-10,000 daily attendance; arrive before 10am to park within 500m of the market gate or take a scooter. The Goa Carnival (Goa Tourism organises) typically falls in February — King Momo's float parade runs through Panaji on the opening Saturday, then Margao Sunday, Mapusa Monday, Vasco Tuesday — exact dates published 4-6 weeks ahead at goa-tourism.com. Anjuna is closer to Mapusa's Monday parade (8km, 15 minutes by scooter) than Panaji. Chapora Fort headland delivers the cleanest sunset views of the year; bring water — the climb takes 15 minutes from Chapora village. Edible Archives (Oasis Hotel, Anjuna) runs its modern-Indian tasting menu nightly except Tuesday — book 3-4 days ahead. Sunburn diaspora afterparties continue at Curlies and Shiva Valley.
