How safe is Bocas Del Toro?

This is a safe surf town. Not very worry about street stealing of thing like that. Secual assaults as a resident are not very common but must be diferent as a turist. Overrall quite safe but always need to be carefull.

I had a wonderful time in Bocas Del Toro. It’s a very small and tight knit community and everyone is so friendly! I stayed at Hotel Bocas Del Toro and had feee breakfast and coffee every morning over the ocean. I also stayed at Up the Hill on Bastimentos which was absolutely magical listening to the jungle come alive early every morning. Monkeys ran across my roof for the bananas every night. And my host made me absolutely delicious food with all home grown ingredients. Water taxis are plentiful and cheap to take you anywhere. And if you dive please check out Bocas Dive Center! They took me to gorgeous reefs and my private dive master Simon was so much fun! Bocas has something for everyone. Check it out!

Bocas Del Toro was an amazing trip and I felt very safe. I kept taking water taxis to the island to drink at night and never felt unsafe.
