Dangerous beaches in the world range from those having lethal creatures concealed in and out of the water, to those with gigantic terrifying waves and sub-zero temperatures. Here is a rundown of the deadly beaches all over the world.
Swimmers and surfers are forewarned about the genuine danger upon entering, however, adventure seekers are unstoppable in their quest of going into these beaches, says Express.
In Mexico, one of the most deadly beaches is Playa Zipolite. The term colloquially refers to the beach of the dead. A special lifeguard was assigned to the beach as there were many deaths recorded in this shoreline.The beach entices the tourists because of its expansive sand and amazingly stretching sand and temptingly sapphire waters. However, the massive waves produce extremely threatening riptide that pulls swimmers out into the water. In recent years, the number of recorded drownings has declined as a result of the special lifeguard team assigned in the area.
One of the most deadly beaches resides on Heard Island in Antarctica. The waters of this beach are sub zero that they endanger the life of the swimmers. However, daredevil surfers are unstoppable as every year, they would venture into the giant volcano and enjoy its waves. The island lies proximate to Antarctica but it was owned by Australia.
New Smyrna Beach in Florida is one of the most deadly beaches as it takes the crown of having the most number of sharks. It is hailed by The Guinness World Records as the shark attack capital of the world. The waters are full of bull sharks and spinner sharks in New Smyrna Beach.
Furthermore, Staithes Beach in the UK is also one of the most deadly beaches in the world. The coastal Yorkshire destination lures surfers for its waves but it has been declared as one of Europe's worst beaches. The water here is so polluted that it cannot meet the basic human standards for water sports.
Finally, Cape Tribulation in North Queensland, Australia, is included to the most deadly beaches in the world. The beach strikes a picture-perfect look for beach goers. However, its shoreline is extremely threatening. Deadly box jellyfishes swarm its waters while the land is infested with venomous snakes.
