Oh yah, its horrible, lots of disease, etc. Cars getting broken into. Stay away..... so I can go there and drop our towels at our favorite spot! [

Seriously, I do go frequently, and usually on a outgoing high tide as it is warmer, and cleaner. I take a shower at home with soap and warm water and if I got a nick or scratch I put neosporin on them when I am done. I dont go in when I have a gash but I probably also wouldn't swim in my chlorinated pool either then.
Maybe we are lucky but I dont get my car broken into there although has been broken into at Kehena many years ago. We have taken both our cars at different times and dont lock them and usually leave at least one window part way down, so in case the crack heads forget to see if the doors locked, they can roll down the window and see there isnt anything of value in the car. Both cars are older, and isnt probably worth stealing.
I guess you can live your life incredibly cautiously or take calculated risks and then take cautionary measures like showering afterwards. I equate it to skydiving. There are many people (like me) that wouldn't jump out of a perfectly good plane. But with the right safety precautions, many people do it safely, and have a great time.
Your mileage may vary.
