Sydney Warnings Or Dangers

Water and general safety: The Beaches
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sydney beaches are clean and generally safe however there is a high incidence of drowning per year, often from ignorance. Beaches develop currents known as 'rips', which can be so strong they literally pull swimmers off their feet in water knee high and sweep them out to sea.

    Always swim between the red flags and stay within sight of the lifeguard patrols. Popular Sydney harbourside beaches have netted, shark-proof enclosures although shark attacks are very rare.

    Bag snatching / Pickpockets etc: Crime
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sydney has less violent crime than many major cities, but car theft, bag snatching and muggings happen. Take the normal precautions you would in any large city. Stay out of city parks and dark streets at night, carry only enough money for what you need to buy at the time, and one credit card at a time.
