I agree with Peter Jones. I was also there 3 weeks ago, and made that walk every night (we stayed at Corona del Mar, 2 or 3 hotels down from Crazy Canucks). There may be history of crime, but we didn't see any trace of it. So, call us dumb -- the walk down the beach was something we looked forward to. But, as everybody has said, don't do it alone.

Also -- I agree about the taxi drivers being the most unpleasant part of AC. They were scary, and I would rather risk other options (like walking down the beach) than take another ride with one of them.
