But beware, danger could be lurking too as some of the most popular tourist beaches in the world are riddled with danger. From pollution to sea creatures like shark and jellyfish attacks, these dangers can ruin your vacation and can potentially kill you. So let’s check out the most dangerous beaches in the world. Number 1 will literally surprise you, so watch out for that! Number 10.) Acapulco Acapulco was once the most iconic Mexican vacation destination. Think spring break, cliff divers, golden sand beaches, and year-round sunshine. These are just a few of the attractions that make the city one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. while all this is still here Acapulco’s reputation as a vacation resort now has to compete with a darker claim to fame, that of the second-place murder capital of the globe. Over recent years the state of Guerrero, and Acapulco particularly, became the scene of a vicious conflict between rival drug cartels. In 2019 alone, there were a staggering 2,316 murders here. within the United States of America State Department’s travel advisories, Acapulco is given a danger rating resembling Afghanistan and Asian countries. They state violent crime, like killing, kidnapping, carjacking, and theft, is widespread. That said, Acapulco is still getting by like a vacation resort. admittedly numbers are way down on the heydays back within the 70s however several Americans still make it down here, and back, surprisingly. There are a growing number of Mexican holidayers visiting. the recommendation appears to be to remain within the touristed areas, keep your wits about you and definitely go looking to score drugs Number 9.) Skeleton Coast Wondering whose skeletons reign the grounds of this coast? Might be humans, might not be, but definitely, countless ships have been destroyed at this coastline due to the scary Benguela Current! That makes you think that this frighteningly named coastline is appropriately named. Not only does the lethal Benguela regularly cause shipwrecks, but the surrounding waters are home to 11 species of shark. Oh, and predators including lions and hyenas can be found patrolling the beach. It’s little wonder that Portuguese navigators used to have another name for this coast as well: "The Gates of Hell.” Number 8.) Boa Viagem beach Boa Viagem is the up-market beachfront district of the northern Brazilian city of Recife. Here you will find palm-lined golden sand beaches backed by shiny new high-rise buildings. The cafes and bars are always bustling and the beach itself is a hub of activity. Imagine this now, it’s hot, the sun is out and there are lovely little waves breaking just off the beach but nobody is in the water deeper than their knees. Look closer and you’ll see why. Along the beach are over 100 signs warning swimmers and banning surfers from entering the water. The reason why – Boa Viagem has one of the highest numbers of fatal shark attacks anywhere on earth. Since 1992 there have been over 60 attacks reported on this stretch of coast, 24 of which were fatal. What is strange about the beaches of Recife is that until the 1990s there were practically no attacks. It is believed the sudden rise in number was due to the development of the nearby Port Suape which involved diverting the flow of several rivers. One theory is that this prevented bull sharks from accessing the rivers diverting them to the shores of Recife’s beaches. Number 7.) Nazare beach Nazare is one of the most seasoned and prevalent holiday resorts on Portugal’s Atlantic coast. Each summer the beaches of the conventional fishing town become popular for holidaying Portuguese families. It is additionally home to a few shocking bathymetries, with a deep oceanic trench indicating from deep water straight to the ocean side town. The effect of this is often to pipe already gigantic Atlantic swells straight to the town’s northern shoreline. By the time the waves hit the coast they are tremendous. It has made Nazaré a very popular surfing destination. Its very high breaking waves form due to the presence of the underwater Nazaré Canyon. As the canyon creates constructive interference between the incoming swell waves, it makes their heights much larger on this stretch of coast. the greatest waves ever surfed in fact at over 30m. Such waves are possibly deadly to the foremost experienced of surfers kitted out with specialist gear, let alone the normal beach-goer. |
