There have been reports of alot of theft from cars, so if you have rented one and are going to explore different parts of the island, be sure not to leave anything at all in your car that looks like it may be valuable. Even if it does not seem that anyone is around, be sure to close yur windows and lock the doors when you go away from the car. This seems like common sense but there are robberies on a frequent basis.

I know it sunds silly, but the falling coconuts can be dangerous. I don't really know how you can protect yourself from falling coconuts as surely you are not going to wear a helmut to the beach. However, if you are going to lay on the beach, you might want to choose a spot which is not directly under the coconuts and especially if it is on a windy day!

Beware of falling coconuts :-) That's about the most dangerous thing that can happen to you. There isn't much crime or dangerous animals on the islands, so you are quite safe.
