TL;DR
Travelers described evening lighting at Sonasea’s promenade, Grand World and some five-star hotel beaches, with less light elsewhere. One specifically warned about motorbikes without headlights on dark road shoulders. These personal accounts do not establish crime levels or guarantee that a route is safe.
Travelers reported a lit beachfront promenade in Sonasea, with plenty of people in the evenings. They walked to the night market and along the beach without feeling unsafe. This describes their own experience of those walks.
One traveler described most beaches as relying on light from cafés after dark.
Grand World is a brighter option for an evening walk. However, security may restrict swimming in the evening, so check the rules for the particular beach section.
Beaches by five-star hotels can be better lit than public stretches, but security may also control access to evening swimming.
One traveler was not concerned about crime but specifically warned about motorbikes without headlights: riders may fail to see pedestrians on a dark road shoulder.
