8 beaches, rest on which may end in failure

Any journey is an opportunity to experience new emotions, see unfamiliar cities and countries, meet interesting people and plunge into the exciting world of adventure. But among the popular tourist destinations on our planet there are places where rest can bring disappointment, and sometimes does pose a serious danger.

Beach holidays are not always a heavenly delight under the serene lapping of turquoise waves and melodious singing of birds. Choosing the tourist route of your trip, it makes sense to find out which beaches of the world conceal a hidden threat to the safety of tourists.

Zipolite Beach (Mexico)

Located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, this beach in the vicinity of Puerto Angel is composed entirely of gorgeous white sand. However, this unusually picturesque coast is dangerous for swimming - the course along its shores changes so often and rapidly that the number of accidents on the water increases from year to year. In addition, on the beach, drug dealers are often looking for potential buyers, and service in hotels near the beach leaves much to be desired.

Sao Paulo Beach (Brazil)

The Brazilian Atlantic coast in the vicinity of São Paulo is an amazingly beautiful place, but from time to time piranhas appearing in the coastal waters, migrating from the southeastern tributaries of the Amazon, cause serious damage to the health of holidaymakers, many of whom had their fingers amputated after bites from these predators.

Queensland and Tivi Beaches (Australia)

The main danger that awaits tourists on the islands of Tiwi and some parts of the coast of Quisland is poisonous jellyfish, known as the Sea Wasp. Jellyfish are almost invisible in the water, but their transparent, blue-blotched body of a cubic shape has such a supply of poison that can kill 50 people. The Australian authorities estimated that at least 160 people died from the “Sea wasps” over the past three decades.

Gansby Coast (South Africa)

Rugged coves bays, coast Gansbai - a picturesque place, but very insidious. When the warm current of the Indian Ocean approaches the coast, here you can meet with sharks face to face. Some enterprising residents of this country are organizing dangerous fun for tourists who want to tickle their nerves - diving into the ocean in a special cage with the opportunity to see and feed sea predators. But most of these attractions are illegal, and the number of accidents among tourists does not decrease.

Florida Beach (USA)

Shark attacks on tourists sailing off the coast of Florida happen with frightening regularity. The number of tiger sharks living in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico has increased dramatically in recent years. For this reason, swimming in the ocean and surfing can result in serious injuries, and in some cases even end in tragedy.

Copacabana (Brazil)

Despite the fact that it is the most famous and most visited beach in Brazil, Copacabana has a high criminal activity. Resting on the white sandy beaches of Rio de Janeiro, tourists risk becoming victims of robbery and witness such antisocial phenomena as prostitution, drug trafficking and even kidnapping.

Repulse Bay Beach (Hong Kong)

In the waters of the South China Sea washing Hong Kong, the concentration of pollutants and heavy metals has long exceeded imaginable and inconceivable standards. Holidays here can be extremely dangerous for the health of tourists. The problem is aggravated by the fact that the authorities practically do not react to the current situation with the discharge of liquid waste into the environment.

Some unscrupulous tour operators deliberately keep silent about the true state of affairs on this beach, positioning Repulse Bay as an elite vacation spot. But the persistent unpleasant smell on the coast, a large number of algae that killed the natural ecosystem of the sea, and the absence of birds and marine life speaks for itself.

Beach New Smyrna (USA)

The glory of the most unlucky resort of America is firmly established behind this beach. Lightning strikes the beach facilities regularly, over half a century more than four hundred people died here from their blows. Accidents on the water - collisions of various swimming facilities bring as many victims and victims. In addition, on the beach New Smyrna quite often recorded cases of attacks on resting white sharks, some of which end in death.
