Travel Tip: Theft from the beach

1 stars
Published on Jun 24, 2008 by LucyHB for Taganga

The beaches of Taganga may look pretty, but you'd be wise not to lose sight of the fact that you're still in Colombia. Take a dip in the sea, by all means (you'll need to in this heat), but make sure somebody's keeping an eye on your belongings. If necessary, buy a drink from a beachside cafe and ask staff to stash your things until you come out of the water. There's one character in this village with a reputation for stealing clothes and flip flops, so don't imagine it's just cameras and money people are after. I even had the lightbulb from my porch stolen while I was staying in this village! It's a relatively safe place, by Colombian standards, but remember that many local people are poor and may have drug problems, hence a problem in the village with petty theft.
