A
The World's Deadliest Beaches
Dangerous sea creatures, big waves, and air pollution are just some of the many things you need to take caution to when visiting the world's deadliest beaches.
Cape Tribulaton, Australia
Cape Tribulaton is said to be unsafe due to its huge amount of dangerous animals. There are tons of jellyfish and it is not safe to swim near the mouths of the rivers because of crocodile warnings. Poisonous(有毒的) snakes and cassowaries have also been found. According to The Cairns Post, a 46-year-old woman is believed to have been taken by a crocodile while swimming at Thornton beach, a beach in Cape Tribulaton.
Gansbaai, South Africa
Also called “Shark Alley”, this beach is known as the world of the great white sharks. It is so filled with sharks that they have actually created shark tours for tourists. Locals claim that visitors have a 99 percent chance of seeing a great white between April to September. In 2011 a man going diving was attacked by two sharks. His body never returned to the surface.
Nazare, Portugal
Also known as “Portugal's Monster”, Nazare is a wonderful vacation destination with some of the biggest and deadliest waves ever surfed. “In Nazare,” a Hawaiian surfer told Time, “the ocean is known as a place of death, not of riding waves.” Nazare's waves are created much larger due to the Nazare Canyon. They are so dangerous that big -wave surfer Maya Gabeira was nearly killed during a wipeout in 2013.
Snake Island, Brazil
Snake Island, also known as Ilha de Queimada Grande, is home to the “world's deadliest snake”—the golden lancehead viper. Its poison is said to easily melt human flesh. Access to this island has been banned due to people being killed in the past.
