Petty crimes:Low
Seogwipo in South Korea is relatively safe when it comes to petty crimes. It's not uncommon for locals and tourists to leave their belongings unattended without the fear of theft. However, while rare, pickpocketing, purse snatching, and other small crimes can occur, particularly in crowded tourist areas. Use basic precautions such as closing bags properly and not leaving valuables unattended for long periods. Overall, crime levels are significantly lower than in many Western cities.
