WHO IS WATCHING YOUR BAG?

The majority of complaints filed were for pick pocketing, with a high percentage of thefts happening on the beach, when bags were left unattended whilst people went for a swim.  Do not take expensive items to the beach with you.  DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ITEMS UNATTENDED.

Please read our advice on keeping yourself and your belongings safe so you do not have to visit the SATE office during your stay.
