When we hear the word «Beach»We usually smile. We think about how good the sun is taking a few meters from the shore or how pleasant it is to enjoy a meal in one of those beach bars where they serve delicious tapas.
All this is idyllic depending on the place, since you probably don't want to take a dip in depending on which beaches. The ones you will see in this article are cataloged as the most dangerous in the worldSo they are not the destination you would choose for an unforgettable honeymoon.
Fraser Island (Australia)
It is the largest sand island in the world, since it has an area of more than 1,600 square kilometers. It is of incalculable beauty and every year it is visited by thousands of young tourists eager to see unique landscapes. The problem? What's up sharks and poisonous jellyfish that they have claimed the lives of some bathers. In addition, there are also snakes and spiders that if they bite you can kill you, and there is even a breed of wild dogs called dingos with which you have to be very careful, since it is a wolf subspecies that does not understand caresses.
Praia de Boa Viagem (Brazil)
Don't be fooled by his name. The «Buen Viaje» beach can be the end of your trip in life. Why? Because since 1992 there have been more than 50 shark attacks tourists. Overfishing and the destruction of the local ecosystem have changed the habits of sharks, which come to the coast in search of food.
Chowpatty Beach (India)
On this beach there is no need to look for culprits among the animal kingdom. The main culprit is the human being, who is the one who has filled garbage and feces this beach. Just looking at it already sucks, so I doubt that you want to risk it. Despite the extremely high pollution rate, many Indians flock to this beach to celebrate the famous Ganesh Chaturthi, a colorful festival in honor of the god Ganesha.
Hanakapiai Beach (Hawaii)
Hawaii is paradise, but there are areas you will want not to step on. One of them is the Hanakapiai beach, more than anything because of the huge waves that endanger the few bathers who dare to get into the water. Also, you should know that there are no lifeguards, which is quite logical. Between 1970 and 2010, it is estimated that about 30 people drowned due to the strong currents that occur on this very dangerous beach.
Reunion Island (France)
The Government had no choice but to ban the bathroom on the beaches of this island located east of Madagascar. Not a few tourists have lost their lives bathing in its waters due to the attack of a shark, which is why they made a drastic decision that hurts tourism in Reunion Island, but that will avoid tragic deaths. Despite this, it must be said that there are those who continue to travel there to see whales, volcanoes and coral reefs, always from a distance and without taking unnecessary risks.
North Sentinel (India)
It is the most dangerous island in the world. Those who have dared to set foot there know it first hand. It is in the Gulf of Bengal and in it we find a tribe that remains completely disconnected from the rest of the world. So much so that they do not hesitate to attack the curious who try to visit it, so it does not seem a good idea to bathe on its beaches. In fact, Marco Polo already warned in the thirteenth century of its dangerousness, indicating that foreigners who arrived were killed and then ate them.
Bikini Atoll (Marshall Islands)
In this case we must speak of radiation as a danger of death. United States launched 20 nuclear bombs between 1946 and 1958 in an experimental way, an aberration that caused the eviction of the vast majority of the island's inhabitants. Although in 1997 its waters were declared free of radiation, the oldest of the place recommend passing by its beaches and entertaining yourself with other plans.
