Avoid leaving your belongings unattended and keep car windows and doors locked when driving.

Take extra care when walking at night, particularly if you are a woman travelling alone.

Be aware of the risk of drink spiking and methanol poisoning in alcoholic drinks.

Only swim from beaches with lifeguards due to dangerous rip tides along reefs.
