On the other hand, it migh be safe, but my concern is that tourists are easy prey for thieves.
BTW, no crocs anywhere close to Bahia de las Aguilas, plenty of iguanas but no crocs and iguanas are very safe unless they see food, but they won't attack.

If you are camping there do watch out for crocs at night. The person (Sean Stover) that was in the obituary was one of my brother's best friends. Sean and another friend were camping on the beach and one morning his friend woke up and all of Sean's stuff and shoes were there but he wasn't. The obituary about the croc is true and the fact that someone would say anything to claim that there are no crocs and therefore that his death couldn't of happened is a little upsetting. Shortly after his disappearance, we lost touch with his mother and we never brought up the subject so I never found out what happened to him til now so thanks to your post I know.
