Safety

San Diego is generally a safe place for travelers who observe all normal precautions. Dress inconspicuously, remove badges when leaving convention areas, know the routes to your destination before you set out. At the beach check with lifeguards about any unsafe conditions such as dangerous rip tides or water pollution. The San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau publishes a Visitor Safety Tips brochure listing normal precautions for many situations. It's available at the International Visitor Information Center.
