Regular U.S. visitors to Mexican beaches just south of San Diego are showing up less because of an increase in armed robbery on the beaches.

The Associated Press reported “Surfers and kayakers are frightened to hit the waters of the northern stretch of Mexico’s Baja California, long popular as a weekend destination for US tourists.”

Weddings have been canceled and beach front restaurants have seen a dramatic drop in business, even on the usually busy New Year’s weekend.

Shakedowns by police and drug-related violence have continued as in past, but starting last summer, attacks by masked, armed bandits has frightened even longtime visitors, according to the A.P. store.The Baja California peninsula is known worldwide for clean and sparsely populated beaches.

The US Consulate in Tijuana has not reported an increase in attacks on American citizens but many crimes are not reported, according to US consular officials. The State Department has always warned motorists on Mexico’s border to watch for cars following them. But citizens should reasonably ask themselves what could they do if they were being followed in a remote area even a few miles from the U.S. border?

In Rosarito, a city an hour from the border, authorities recently forced police to surrender their weapons for testing to see if they were linked to any crimes.

In 2007, 18 million tourists visited Baja, down from 21 million in 2006. Mexican crime continues to soil the lovely nation and its people. The tragedy of this level of crime touches both the direct victims, the tourists, and the Mexican citizens who lose their jobs because of the crime driven drop in visitors.
