A serene and splendid destination in Kerala, Thottada Beach is best visited during the winter months from October to February. During this period, the weather is pleasantly cool and is most conducive for beach activities like sunbathing, swimming, and leisurely walks along the shore. The temperature typically ranges from a comfortable 20°C to 30°C. These months also coincide with the tourism season in Kerala when cultural festivals are in full swing, giving you a chance to experience the local culture and festivities, including the famous Theyyam performances that are specific to the North Malabar region.
While the monsoon season, from June to September, bestows the beach with lush greenery and a refreshed ambiance, the heavy rains can hamper outdoor activities and travel plans. The sea can be rough, and it is often not safe for swimming. For those who don't mind the rains and want to enjoy the monsoon in Kerala, visiting at this time can also be an option, but one should be prepared for intermittent showers and the off-chance of cyclonic weather. The summer months from March to May, on the other hand, are the least favorable time to visit due to the high humidity and temperatures soaring above 35°C, which can be quite uncomfortable for outdoor activities on the beach.
