Acapulco:  Drug-related violence has been increasing in Acapulco.  Although this violence is not targeted at foreign residents or tourists, U.S. citizens in these areas should be vigilant in their personal safety.
Avoid swimming outside the bay area.  Several American citizens have died while swimming in rough surf at the Revolcadero Beach near Acapulco.      This information become from the US Department of State, to Project you as  US Citizen.

Cancun and Cozumel Cancun is a fairly large city, approaching 500,000 inhabitants, with increasing reports of crime.  Crimes against the person, such as rape, commonly but not exclusively occur at night or in the early morning hours, and often involve alcohol and the nightclub environment.  Therefore, it is important to travel in pairs or groups, be aware of surroundings, and take general precautions.  To protect against property crimes, valuables should be left in a safe place or not brought at all.  If you are a victim of a crime, immediately notify the U.S. Consular Agency in Cancun or Cozumel or the U.S. Consulate in Merida at the telephone numbers provided below.
If you rent a moped or other vehicle in Cancun, it is advisable to purchase third-party insurance, as the insurance offered on some credit cards will not cover you in Mexico.  Should you have an accident or cause damage to the vehicle, you may be required to pay the full amount of any repairs, in cash, as determined by the rental agency, or face arrest.
In Cancun, there is often a very strong undertow along the beach from the Hyatt Regency all the way south to Club Med.  Already this season, several U.S. citizens have drowned when overwhelmed by ocean conditions.    In Cozumel, several drownings and near-drownings have been reported on the east coast, particularly in the Playa San Martin-Chen Rio area. PLEASE BE SAVE, YOU CAN BE DRUNK BUT DON’T BE STUPID!!!!!

Mazatlan:  While the beach town of Mazatlan is a relatively safe place to visit, travelers should use common sense and exercise normal precautions when visiting an unfamiliar location.  Avoid walking the streets alone after dark, when petty crimes are much more common.  Beaches can have very strong undertows and rogue waves.  Swimmers should obey warning signs placed along the beaches which indicate dangerous ocean conditions.       This information become from the US Department of State, to Project you as  US Citizen.

During a disaster overseas, American consular officers can assist in evacuation were that to become necessary, but they cannot assist you if they do not know where you are.  You can register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department’s travel registration web site.
