Other reasons, primarily personal safety. I’ll be with my parents and boyfriend at all times. Is it safe as long as I’m with someone?

I personally would not suggest it unless it is a well lighted beach and there are many people around and then only with using caution and extreme common sense. My common sense would tell me "NO" and I have been going to the island for 28 years.

No, but why take a chance? Haven't read all the way back up the threads but basically, don't go to any dark corners, beach or no. Some beaches have more light than others and walking ( not alone) is perfectly safe until it's not. Used to walk Kim Sha as late at 11, but there's light and people there.

Not trying to be a smart-a$S but you will get responses on this board from seasoned visitors and residents, some local and some transplants. Trust me, they know what they are talking about. Not a lot of crime on the beaches but don't put yourself in a position to be an easy target either. It only takes that ONE time of being in the wrong place and then your vacation could be ruined.

No worries. I appreciate honesty. That is why I’m asking here lol
