It’s summertime and as the effects of the pandemic are slowly wearing off, public places are finally opening. So, what’s the best place to go to on a sunny weekend? You guessed it right, THE BEACH! Beaches are paradise getaways under the sun, with sand and surf aplenty. But some beaches are home to a number of hidden dangers and hazards that can ruin any vacation—or even potentially kill you. From the "extremely radioactive beach" to The Beach of the Dead here are 10 of the most dangerous you want to avoid at all cost! Let’s begin:
Number 10. Bikini Atoll U.S. Marshall Islands
The South Pacific Island in Micronesia has a shady past that contributes a great deal to its future. Unlike many other deadly beaches, this one is free from sharks, crocodiles, or jellyfish but the U.S. Army used it to detonate 23 nuclear weapons between 1946 to 1958. Although the beach is open to tourists, it is better to choose another location. The water is contaminated with radiation, and locally grown coconuts and the fruits around there are unsafe to eat. You heard about nuclear testing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, right? What if I told you that the atomic bombs in Bikini Atoll are 1,000 times more powerful? I hope you understand now. Ironically, marine life thrives there. Even if you have Micronesia on your travel bucket list, guess what? There are over 600 islands that you can opt for instead of taking a walk to the Bikini Atoll. Most residents have fled the vicinity for fear that they'll not survive the impact. However, others are adamant and do not want to leave their ancestral home.
Number 9. Reunion island
While the last beach was free from sharks, this one of home to them. Don’t let the innocent name of this island fool you. Reunion Island is in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It is home to fewer than a million people, but its balmy climate and sun-drenched beaches make it a popular holiday destination. But since 2011, Reunion has been in crisis. Contrary to popular belief, sharks don’t attack humans that much, but when they do, they usually end up killing them. The reunion island is only 40-miles long, and yet, in the last five years, 13% of the WHOLE world’s fatal shark attacks have happened here. To put that into perspective, there have only been 3 shark attacks off the coast of South Africa in that same time. An abnormally large population of sharks circles the waters around Reunion beaches. They’ve attacked 20 people since 2011 and killed 7. In 2013, all open-water swimming and surfing in Reunion were banned. Enter those waters at your peril.
Number 8. Cape Tribulation
Explorer James Cook gave the cape Tribulation its ominous name after his ship struck the reef, stating that, “here begun all our troubles.” The name, however, isn’t enough to scare people off. Australians and people from all over the world travel to Cape Tribulation to stand in awe of its clear blue waters, soft sand, and the sublime Daintree Rainforest. Unfortunately, it’s also full of snakes, jellyfish, crocodiles, and cassowaries. Cassowaries don’t exactly look threatening, but the flightless bird can kill people. As tempting as the pristine waters look, you'd be foolish to wade out into them. Saltwater crocodiles are often spotted on the sands or surfing the waves. A woman was attacked on the beach in 2017. Plus, the world's deadliest jellyfish might just make an appearance, too, box jellyfish swarm around the northern part of Australia from November to May.
Number 7. Glass Beach, California
Talking about surprising beaches, Glass Beach in California definitely deserves a place here. Don’t worry, you don’t have to wear shoes. Well, unless you're a nerd and you’d want to. The glass at Glass Beach isn’t the jagged, sharp kind you’re likely to cut your toes on. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. For over 60 years Glass Beach was a garbage dumping ground. In 1967, this stopped, and conservation efforts began. And, the result of over 50 years of the gentle rise and fall of tides has smoothed down all the broken glass. What remains now is a beach that substitutes sand for soft, polished pieces of glass. Visitors to the park can head to the beach and walk the shores. In the sunlight, the glass glints and sparkles. It’s quite a sight. As tempted as you may be to pocket a few emerald-like pieces, this is strictly prohibited. So, be sure to leave any you’ve picked up behind.
