Dangers & annoyances
Travelers have been accosted and robbed on lonely stretches of beach outside La Ceiba, Tela and Trujillo, mostly by groups of youths. Some people have had belongings swiped from the beach while they were in the water. This was more of a concern a few years back and tourist police have helped address the problem.
However, do be vigilant. Do not walk along these beaches without company, and never after dark.
The north coast has a very high rate of HIV infection: plan accordingly.
