Here alone for a few days. Is it okay to walk the beach after dark or better stay in lit areas? First night here.

Main beach is usually fine till late, lots of restaurants and people. But if it gets quiet or you're going to darker parts, grab a tuk tuk. Same as any beach town. Most nights are chill but trust your gut.

Main area okay but side paths or if no one around, don't risk. Plenty of tuk tuks around the restaurants.

I walk it most nights, no problem. But yeah after 11 or so it empties out. Tuk tuk is cheap anyway.

Felt safe when I was there but I didn't go too far alone at night. Stay where the lights and people are.
