Safety
The city of Tumbes is fairly safe, well safer than the route north to the border. Of course, take care around the bus terminals on Avenida Tumbes and even more so in the market district on Mariscal Castilla, where transportation departs for the border and coastal villages south of Tumbes.
Please see the "Border Crossings to Ecuador—Aguas Verdes / Huaquillas" for safety issues along that frontier.
