Safety in Bermuda

Safety

Crime against tourists is rare, and, unlike some of the Caribbean countries, the Bahamas has little panhandling. But take the precautions you would in any foreign country: be aware of your wallet or handbag at all times, and keep your jewelry in the hotel safe. Be especially wary in remote areas, always lock your rental vehicle, and don't keep any valuables in the car, even in the locked trunk.

Women in the Bahamas & Turks & Caicos

Women traveling alone should not go out walking unescorted at night in Nassau or in remote areas. Crime is low, but there's no need to take unnecessary risks. In most other cases, women are safe and treated with respect. To avoid unwanted attention, dress conservatively and cover up swimsuits off the beach.
