1. Avoid walking in small groups in remote places, unless with a guide.

2. Try not to carry a handbag or backpack. Rather carry a small purse, money belt or bag close to your body.

3. Avoid carrying large amounts of money. (R200 is a lot here!)

4. Never leave small valuable items such as jewelry, watches, portable radios, clothing, purses or cameras within reach of an open window. (Not even if you have burglar bars). Also do not leave valuable items in view in your car. Car windows are broken here for items that you might think worthless.

5. Do not leave clothes on the washing line overnight.

6. Never leave your luggage unattended.

7. Avoid elaborate displays of expensive jewelry, cameras and other valuables. In fact, try to leave it at home, or at the very least, in the hotel safe. The Wild Coast has a inclination to reduce material objects to junk, and that's just the weather!

8. Steer clear of dark, isolated areas at night and park in well lit areas only. Bring a torch.

9. Beware of over-friendly strangers trying to distract you in a helpful manner. Typically, a stranger will approach while one is filling up with petrol or while waiting in a car. A quick grab may happen while occasionally another person will attempt to open a car door while you are distracted.

10. Be aware of your surroundings and persons around you. Seek help if threatened or uncomfortable. Most people in Pondoland are honest and concerned about the town's reputation. People will go out of their way to help you here.

11. Its not called the Wild Coast for nothing. Exercise caution when using/enjoying our natural resources:

a) River :- although the river may appear to be flat and calm, it isn't. Extremely strong currents make it imperative that all normal safety precautions are observed at all times especially in regard to anchors and paddles.
b) Sea :– beware of freak waves, tides, currents, loose & slippery rocks;
c) Hikes :– wear proper hiking shoes. Trails are generally slippery when damp and there are many unmarked paths which may get you lost;
d) Do not attempt THE GAP unless conditions are perfect. Strong winds and mist make this path very dangerous.

WHILE WALKING AROUND PORT ST JOHNS, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU EMPLOY A GUIDE FROM THE TOURISM OFFICE (or from one of the accommodation places) as petty theft, muggings and robbery are on the increase again. Check on the conditions around 2nd Beach when you get into town.
