In fact, the majority of safety, medical, or injury related issues arise due to tourists not obeying rules during tours or activities, excessive drinking of alcohol, lack of water intake causing dehydration which can become life threatening in some instances, failure to wear helmets in ATV tours, driving all terrain vehicles on the highway, not following rules of the road or driving intoxicated in rental cars, riding on motor scooters with no experience and at high speeds, not wearing helmets for activities, and ignoring the swimming precautions in dangerous waters with strong currents or undertows. On occasion however, incidents of stolen wallets, passports, money, or purses left unattended at the beach by the careless or intoxicated will likely be taken advantage of. When at the beach, tourists need to be aware of their surroundings. The best advice when planning to go to the most popular beaches is the following NOT to do: no passports, no wallets, no purses and only beach bags, no excessive amount of money, no jewelry, and nothing left unattended for long periods of time. Be sure to secure your hotel room key at all times. Of course, this is true no matter which beach you go to at home however it is common that tourists tend to not take precautions and get careless during the fun.
