Playa Ancon, located within the Cuban region known as Trinidad, is easily one of the best tourist attractions in Cuba, as the food is renowned and the entertainment is expansive. All these festivities, though, may be the basis for some serious crime. It is not a particularly widespread problem, but given the beach’s size, it is a relatively serious problem, and muggings, as well as purse-snatchings, are not uncommon. One of the most common attractions in the area is the shuttle buses, which can provide a great way to travel and even sight-see. However, they also pose a hidden risk, namely isolation, resulting in quite a few reports of missing wallets and personal belongings. Furthermore, the lack of access to local authorities makes it harder to track criminals and retrieve any lost items. There are no ways to predict when the next crime will occur. This is an undeniable and unavoidable feature of visiting the region, though it should not taint the region completely. Head over to the destination renowned for its beauty and accommodations.
