10 Most DANGEROUS Beaches In The World!
The world’s coastlines truly are a sight to behold. So much so that people go out of their way just to find
the perfect swimming hole. However, some of these beaches aren’t the paradise they seem to be. Today
we well be looking at 10 of the world’s most dangerous beaches. Number one is a sleeper so make sure
you stay tuned.
Number 10. Skeleton Coast
The ominous name of skeleton coast has a reason. All along this terrifying beach in Namibia, in
southwestern Africa, you see the hulks of dead ships, ancient and modern. You cannot help but reflect
on the fate of the shipwrecked sailors. In many cases, what remains of their vessels now stands far back
from the sea, partly covered in sand. Sometimes these relics are almost entirely buried; all you can see is
a mast. Countless more, you think, have vanished altogether. What must have befallen their crews, in
the days before radio and airborne rescue, requires little imagination. Sand, salt pan, and arid mountain
stretch inland for a hundred miles. Away from the sea, there is little or no water—no sustenance, it
seems, of any kind. When you see an animal—which you do, now and then—you are astonished that it
can eke its existence from this nothingness. No human unused to such a place ever could.
Number 9. Cape Tribulation
Despite the festive name, swimming in the waters of Cape Tribulation in Australia comes with inherent
dangers. Located along the coast of Queensland, it touts alluring sandy stretches and palm-fringed
aquamarine waters, but you’ve been warned: dozens of natural booby traps await.
From October to early June, warm water brings thousands of crystal clear Box Jellyfish around Cape
Tribulation. These particular jellyfish are so potent because their venom attacks the cardiovascular
system and can cause swimmers to drown before reaching land for help. Our tour guide told us that if
you were touched by one, it would only take minutes to kill you.
If the jellyfish weren’t dangerous enough, there are also crocodiles. They hide out in shallow or deep
waters, near the ocean or in fresh water creeks- so you really have to be on the look out at all times,
even though, I’m pretty sure they’ll see you before you’ll see them! They are super fast, very aggressive
and have been known to pull down a cow before. It is reported that these crocodiles kill 1-2 people per
year.
Number 8. Fraser Island
The beaches of Fraser Island pose risks whether you're underwater or on land. Its deadly beaches are
home to practically everything you want to avoid if you’re trying to stay alive. In fact, rescue choppers
are frequently flown in to the area to save visitors who find themselves plagued with medical
emergencies. To make matters worse, there is nowhere on the island to seek medication attention,
which is in and of itself another danger, but really only the beginning of the perils of Fraser.
In recent years, the island has become inundated with irukandji, one of the most venomous types of
jellyfish in the world. People stung by these tiny sea creatures may experience symptoms including
abdominal pain, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, hypertension, pulmonary edema and, in extreme cases,
fatal cardiac arrest. Over the past few years, several irukandji attacks have been reported on the island.
The island is also home to 25-30 packs of dingoes, a type of dog native to Australia that has been known
to attack humans.
Number 7. Hanakapiai Beach
Hanakapiai Beach boasts golden sands, black cliffs and endless blue sea – but beware of succumbing to
the temptation of this Kauai paradise. The alluring waters of this beach are home to incredibly strong rip
tides, which have pulled many uninformed swimmers to their deaths. The cause of the danger? A lack of
coral reef protecting the area.
Because of the perilous nature of this beach, there is no main access road, requiring thrill-seekers to
navigate formidable boulders and switchbacks over streams and waterfalls.
There is even a sign on the beach that claims more than 80 people have drowned there. Although I
couldn’t find any official records of the death toll, some websites mention that there have been
approximately 30 verified cases in the last 50 years.
