"Playa Samara, is generally considered a safe destination for tourists. However, like any other place, it is not completely free from crime. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag snatching can occur, particularly in crowded areas or at night. Violent crime is relatively rare, but it's always important for visitors to stay vigilant and take standard safety precautions. It's recommended to avoid isolated areas, especially after dark, and to keep valuables secure and out of sight. Despite these concerns, most visits to Playa Samara are trouble-free and the local people are typically friendly and welcoming," wrote a member who made the move to Playa Samara, Costa Rica.
