10 Dangerous Beaches You Should Not Visit

10 Dangerous Beaches You Don't Want to Visit What does one think of when visiting a beach? Calm winds, soft sand, fresh breaths, and a place to lose all your stress and just relax. Beaches, no doubt, boast undeniably pleasant views and feelings that no other site can provide. But is every beach like this? Well, some beaches are said to be so dangerous that people hesitate in even stepping around them. Hey everyone! I'm Joelle, welcoming you back with another exciting and crazy video. Today I'll tell you about some beautiful beaches. Not just beautiful, but deadly. And I don't mean it in a good way. Let me show you the most dangerous beaches around the world that you don't want to visit. Before we begin, make sure you're subscribed and hit the notification bell icon to watch the most interesting and exciting videos. Starting with number 10, Fraser Island, Australia. Australia is a hub of vast, beautiful, and undiscovered beaches. The beaches of Fraser Island pose risks, whether you're underwater or on land. Sadly, in recent years, the island has become engulfed with Irukandji, one of the evilest types of jellyfish in the world. People pricked by these tiny sea creatures may experience symptoms including abdominal pain, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, hypertension, pulmonary edema, and in extreme cases, fatal cardiac arrest. For over the past few years, growing Irukandji attacks have been reported on the island. The reef is also home to 25 to 30 packs of dingoes, a type of dog native to Australia that has been known to attack humans. So neither the water is safe here nor the sand. It's better to stay off this dangerous beach. Number nine, Uddecleve Beach, Norway. Norway's Lofoten Islands are undoubtedly stunning. They're also some of the best spots from which to catch the northern lights. But while the beaches and shores might look inviting, it's advised to stay away from the island at the solid lands. The islands, which lie north of the Arctic Circle, are enclosed by waters between 46 and 57 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. To put that into perspective, according to the National Center for Cold Water Safety, water below 60 degrees Fahrenheit is extremely dangerous or immediately life-threatening. Although chilling water is a delight to some, it may have some terrible consequences. So while the coastline might look unrealistic, especially under the northern sky's dance, this is one polar bear plunge that you should skip. At number eight, Bikini Atoll, U.S. Marshall Islands. This charming South Pacific island in Micronesia has a seedy past. You might think it would have had some bad experiences because of animals or other reasons, but this one is quite different. While it's free from sharks, swells, and crime, the U.S. Army used it for nuclear testing from 1946 to 1958. Today, its shores are technically open to tourists, but regionally grown coconuts and other fruits are considered unsafe to eat because of harmful radiation pollution. Yes, it was years ago, but poisons like these take hundreds or more to disappear completely. Fortunately, there are more than 600 islands in Micronesia. If the destination is on your travel bucket list, you can opt for an island that's more like a Tahitian paradise and less like Chernobyl. Are you still planning to visit any of these beaches? Stay till the end as we'll be telling you about the beaches that are even more dangerous than the ones we already told you about. At number seven, Gansbaai, South Africa. What's not to love about a beach where crystalline water meets sugary sand? Plenty, it turns out. While Gansbaai Beach is an aquatic playground for adventurous and beach-loving humans, it's also home to what's known as Shark Alley, so it's probably sharks' favorite too. Enough said. Why so many sharks? Every April to September, the waters welcome 60,000 sea lions to feast on. There is one way to still enjoy the waters of Gansbaai though, by participating in a shark cage diving expedition to get up close and personal with these sea creatures from the safety of an iron cage. But who wants to be in a cage underwater, surrounded by drooling sharks? Number six, New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The New Smyrna Beach is filled with beauty and several other unexpected additions. Surfers who flock to Florida's Atlantic coast for the epic swells do so at their own risk. This beach is one of the world's most dangerous due to its shark-infested waters. Florida has an average of 29 shark bites per year, and in 2017, nine of those attacks occurred along this section of this particular coast. Shark attacks have been less frequent of late, but New Smyrna Beach remains one of the world's scariest beaches. If you're jonesing for a shark fix, stick to the Jaws ride at Universal Studios. Number five, Reunion Island, France. Madagascar's coast, this tropical escape is known as the Reunion Island, used to be a haven for surfers. But since 2011, when there were six reported shark attacks, which gradually turned this heaven into hell, it has slowly turned into a ghost town. Over the years, the problem has only gotten worse. Just hardly a year ago, a surfer was killed by a shark in winters. The fear of shark attacks has damaged local tourism, serving to protect the natural beauty of the island, but sadly stifling the local economy. Unfortunately, because of the sharks, humans don't get to see every part of the coast. But let the sharks have some fun too, right? I mean, this list is getting creepier as we proceed. Honestly, I don't know what to expect from number one, since all my fears have already been discussed in the previous ones. Well, let's find out. Number four, Stades Beach, UK. While many of the world's most dangerous beaches are also among the most beautiful, we're sure you'll have no dilemma giving up Stades Beach. Frequently on the EU's swimming prohibited list, this beach is known for its garbage. And of course, do we need to tell you how garbage affects the whole human system and the surroundings? Farm sewage drains into the harbor, raising the water pollution levels to an unsafe level. Swimming in said waters can cause diarrhea, E. coli, meningitis, typhoid, and hepatitis A. And you thought bringing sand home in your shoes was the worst of your beach woes. It's the perfect example of tit for tat, because it was indeed not the aquatic animals spreading all that rubbish around. Number three, Amazon River Beaches, Brazil. Plunging the depths of the Amazon jungle is a bucket list opportunity for any adventurist. Just don't try to hop in the Amazon River for a refreshing dip to beat the humidity and heat. These murky waters are a breeding ground for electric eels, anacondas, piranhas, and the candiru, a parasitic fish that can invade the human body from any opening. So would you ever dare to have a walk at this beach? Imagine just taking a step forward. You get absorbed into some that didn't even bother to burp after tasting you. So this is it, the last two of the most dangerous beaches in the world. Before we discuss, I want you to pause the video and comment down what you think these two names will have in store. Done? Let's see if you got it right. At number two, Dumas Beach, India. Dumas Beach in the state of Gujarat along the Arabian Sea is considered to be one of the most haunted beaches in the world. Originally a cremation ground, it's reportedly home to spirits that continue to roam its shores. Despite this, this pretty beach still has tourists coming from places far and wide. But it's not just ghoulish rumors that add to the mystery of this beach. It also has a credit for people disappearing and is home to a group of deadly king cobras, making it one of the world's most contaminated beaches as well. One thing's for sure, ghosts and poisonous snakes don't make for a relaxing beach getaway, especially as a combination. And at number one, Hanakapiai Beach, Hawaii. The sumptuous Hanakapiai Beach flaunts golden sands, black cliffs, and endless blue sea. But beware of surrendering to the temptation of this kawaii paradise. This beach's alluring waters are home to extreme riptides, which have pulled numerous naive swimmers to their deaths. The cause of the danger? A lack of coral reef protecting the area. Because of this beach's precarious nature, there's no main access road, requiring thrill seekers to navigate challenging boulders and switchbacks over streams and waterfalls. The beach is on the other side of Hanakapiai Stream, a much better river situated for swimming than the ocean. So these were some of the most gorgeous, oh, sorry, most dangerous beaches around the world. It's advised to never even think of visiting these beaches if you don't have a death wish. Let us know in the comment section below which of these beaches you find the most creepy. Until then, stay tuned for more.
