Watch out for

• Opportunistic theft, muggings, and smash-and-grab attacks on cars occur near coastal parking lots, retail strips along Marine Drive, and quieter beach access points, particularly around dusk.
• Walking along deserted stretches of beach or unlit suburban side streets after dark carries significant robbery risk, and using app-based hailing services is strongly advised over walking late at night.
• Strong rip currents and sudden wind changes along the Table Bay and Blouberg coastline create hazardous swimming conditions.
