Number 15, Reunion Island, when you think of France your mind probably immediately goes to Paris, the food, the wine, the Eiffel Tower, it's all pretty fantastic and for good reason, but it's important for travelers to remember. France also has some beautiful beaches outside of the main cities, so Réunion Island is a small island territory in the Indian Ocean that is approximately 40 miles long and although it may be small, it gets quite a reputation among the locals. The water has a beautiful blue tone and the rocks look like a work of art. It is an incredibly picturesque landscape, but whatever you do, stay out of the water.

Not only are the waters of Reunion Island known for their sheer force as they crash against the jagged rocks around the coast, but the waters of the island are also full of sharks and not just a few, there are many sharks hanging around here looking for their next male and the thing about them is that they know how to hang out in the shallow waters. Where beachgoers are most likely to take a dip to get relief from the heat Sharks are pretty smart They know where the good food is There was a time not long ago when Reunion Island sharks were responsible for 16 percent of all shark attacks in the world, if that's not a fair warning to stay away from there, then what is number 14, the pool of death.

The Hawaiian Islands are well known for their stunning tropical beaches with summer vibes, despite everything, there is a dangerous pond in Kauai Hawaii called the Pond of Death, the scary name explains the dangerousness of the place quite well, but it has not been able to scare the risk of driving away visitors. The Pool of Death is a flooded cave on the coast made of volcanic rock. The accelerated sea. The waves create a beautiful flow of water flowing into this pool, but the power and force that a wave carries from time to time, unexpectedly, is quite high.

Many people die here while trying to jump from the top of the 20 foot waterfall and drown in it. pool or are thrown onto the rocks by the force of the waves most people end up with chest injuries rope burns perforated eardrums and sprained ankles plus a teenage girl was left paralyzed after swimming here after suffering serious physical trauma, but a total of zero local Hawaiians have died here in the pool of death because not only do they generally know how to swim against the strong waves and how the waves fluctuate over time but they also tend to stay away completely even with the great danger that comes with this place, its surroundings still do. a popular destination with tourists and local beachgoers alike, but remember that you swim here at your own risk because not only are there tides, waves and tents, but there are no lifeguards on duty to come to rescue number 13.

Queensland, Australia, There seems to be no shortage of things in Australia that want to kill you - giant jumping spiders, violent venomous snakes and even a quick kick from a kangaroo can gut a human and that's just one earth, while the waves in the ocean can be one of the world's best, warm oceans Australia's coasts are the perfect environment for bull sharks, hammerheads, great whites and even saltwater crocodiles, but there is another predator that is much more discreet but just as deadly as any of these creatures with sharp teeth: the box jellyfish, and it is off the coast of Queensland specifically where these jellyfish are found.

They extend their tendrils in the greatest hope of catching some unsuspecting prey. They are not very large, with a diameter of about five and a half inches, and are usually just as tall. They have bundles of seven to nine tentacles in the four lower corners. the bell, each with a finger-like appendage at the tip, its two outer tentacles are pink and the inner tentacles more yellow. I can often grow up to 13 feet long, but these long tendrils are armed with small tires that capture prey like small fish and deter. Predators with their unpleasant sting, how unpleasant, well, let's say it's enough to kill an adult human in less than five minutes, so, seeing how these little jellyfish move everywhere, it would be better to never swim in these waters number 12.

New Smyrna Beach Florida is known for some weird things including the weather, wildlife and the occasional Florida man, and while it can be a great place for all of our grandparents to retreat and soak up the sun all year long year on the beach in front of the beach. yard there is a beach that everyone should stay away from New Smyrna Beach, it looks great from afar with crystal clear waters, white sands and elegant boats in the harbor but things get a little sinister the closer you get to the water which makes May this beach be terrifying as you go.

As you get closer to the water you may notice some strange things floating in the water but don't worry because those are just the dorsal fins of all the sharks that like to hang out in the waters of New Smyrna Beach and at some point the Things got so bad that New Smyrna Beach became the shark attack capital of the world, and while these shark-related deaths may have decreased since then, shark bites are still a common phenomenon, with nearly a hundred reported bites in the last decade, taking your lunch to the beach is one thing. but becoming a beach lunch is completely another case number 11.

Jacob's Well, now I can't forget about the natural pools that form around the land, which is why we go to Jacob's Well in Wimberley, Texas. Jacob's Well is located on a Highway 82-acre preserve that has attracted daredevils and thrill seekers for decades. The well is part of a limestone cave system created by groundwater dissolving and washing away porous limestone strata over thousands of years. The depth of the waters around Jacob's well varies, but there is one place in particular. that's the perfect place to jump off the rocks and don't worry you'll know it when you see it because the water goes from a nice light blue to a deep dark blue, that's where you can jump into a 140 foot deep natural pool. and while there are many cliff jumpers here enjoying the constant 68 degrees Fahrenheit water, the area has also been visited by many divers trying to understand the layout of the underwater cave, but all of this has come at a serious cost because this area The underwater network is so vast and often so obscure that a handful of divers have died attempting to navigate the world beneath Jacob's Well, which has largely deterred any future exploration.

Number 10 Galveston County beaches. Everyone loves to swim at their own risk. Sign and unfortunately there are not many people. We tend to heed that warning, as we have seen so far, the ocean can be a pretty scary place if you don't know what you are doing or respect it, currents or spring tides can easily affect you and the same can said of ocean predators, but the beaches of Galveston County contain something even more terrifying. All of the beaches in Galveston County, Texas have these signs exactly because the area has been disrespected by humans. The waters here are so incredibly polluted that you can be sure to get sick just by touching them, maybe even getting that cool ocean breeze into your mouth or eyes.

Many of these beaches are polluted by water caused by storm runoff and sewer overflows, but we're not just talking about plastic bottles making things unpleasant. The overflows are full of fecal matter that dissolves in the ocean spreading its bacteria along the way, it is quite disgusting and in 2017 and 2018, three beaches in particular in Galveston County, Helen Boulevard Magnolia Lane and Red Lion Road, They had some of the highest pollution levels in the state and sure the levels change quite frequently, but you have to ask yourself if it's really worth the risk of putting on some swim trunks and swimming in toilet water.

Hanakapi Beach Hanakapi Beach is located in Kauai County, Hawaii, and if you ever make it there get there and pat yourself on the back because the only way to get there is by doing a pretty crazy hike, but is it worth it? All those scenic views are really worth it, probably not because Hanacopia Beach is known for having some pretty bad and unforgiving rip currents that are known for drowning swimmers. Brave but foolish enough to take a dip and while this is an incredibly unfortunate truth, it just reaffirms that Mother Nature can be quite relentless and will remind you of the above.

Swimmers head in just when you get there because there is a nice sign warning you about the rough waters and even telling travelers how many people have drowned there each year. Well, with all that said, there's really no rule that says you can't. nothing there you just have to remember that there is no one there to save you so far almost 100 people have lost their lives due to the strong currents so you have to ask yourself if you really want to be another mark on the hanakapiyai warning sign Beach number eight Lake Karachay Okay, leave your swimsuit at home because Blake Karachay is a small lake in the southern Ural Mountains of Russia and it's the last place on Earth you'd want to swim between 1951 and 1953 the Russian Lake was used. as a radioactive waste dump from nearby Chelyabinsk 65, a nuclear waste reprocessing and storage plant, and the Washington DC-based World Watch Institute would classify it as the most contaminated place on the planet.

Yeah, that's not an easy thing to do either. The level of radioactivity has been measured at 4.44 terabekarels, which is almost comparable to the total level spread over a much larger area by the Chernobyl disaster, all in a single lake and, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the lake is so polluted that its raw waters will kill. One human in an hour the lake began to dry up in the 1960s and a 1968 drought combined with a strong wind blew all that radioactive dust away from the area, irradiating half a million people with Hiroshima-like levels during the dropping of the atomic bomb, so one can imagine that this created a serious problem that people like the world never thought they would see again, but lo and behold, radioactive materials which we all know have a hard time breaking down, so in an attempt to prevent the lake from causing further damage.

It was filled with ten thousand hollow concrete blocks between 1978 and 1986 that are intended to prevent sediment from moving, while it is not yet known whether the area can be cleaned. Some fear that the radiation could eventually contaminate the Teja River and the Atlantic Ocean, so don't do it. Don't swim in it, don't even swim near it, stay as far away from Lake Karachay as possible. Number seven, the Great Blue Hole. A spectacle that can be seen better and safely from above. The Great Blue Hole is exactly what it seems. It's a great show. A hole more than a thousand feet wide in the middle of the ocean is 410 feet deep, giving it that deep blue color that juxtaposed with the crystal clear waters that surround it makes it look like the eye of an otherworldly creature that has been dormant for thousands of years. just waiting to swallow unsuspecting swimmers whole, but the Great Blue Hole is part of the beautiful Belize Barrier Reef and Mesoamerican Reef, so it's a great hot spot for divers, but with a hole this deep, who knows what kind of deep sea creatures are looking back.

Down there, the hull is widely believed to have formed back in the Ice Age, when a submerged limestone cave system collapsed as sea levels began to change. If you manage to swim to the depths of the Blue Hole, you'll find enormous stalactites and stalagmites that help provide researchers with vital information about past climates, so I'm sure the Great Blue Hole is a once-in-a-lifetime dive site. , but the real horror begins when you not only think about how deep it is, but also when you think about all the unknown yet undiscovered sea creatures staring at you without you knowing it.

Number Six Bondi Baths The Bandai Iceberg Swimming Club is an Australian winter swimmer's club located at the southern end of Bondi Beach in Sydney, New Wales.South. The swimming club was established in 1929 and has a small museum on the first floor. A unique defining feature of the club is the rule that maintaining membership required swimmers to compete three Sundays out of four over a five-year period, but the pool here has more than one claim to fame: the largest It's one of the most beautiful pools on Earth, but it just so happens to be one of the most ill-conceived water attractions imaginable.

Bandai's baths are a pool literally built in the ocean, that means waves regularly splash over the sides and into the pool. It also means that regular chlorinated pool water is impossible to maintain in bathrooms, so it fills with salt water and achieving the perfect water temperature is almost impossible, but to make matters worse. There are even stories of sharks being thrown into the pool at high tide and becoming trapped and a trapped animal is a scared animal and a scared animal can often be very dangerous. Bondi's baths may be world famous, but they're probably not the most relaxing. or an idyllic way to spend a quiet afternoon, Hanakapi beach number five.

Okay, this one gets a second nod. Sometimes it seems like there are a million beaches in Hawaii and that's why so many people go there to visit. It really feels like a paradise.but these are some places where paradise can quickly turn into a nightmare and one of them is Hanakapi Beach, a place that locals fear to step foot in and Acapia Beach is one of the deadliest places in the world and it also happens to be one of the most beautiful. I guess Mother Nature has no shortage of enigmas for us. You know the beach is at the end of a steep two-mile rocky trail.

Its remoteness means there is no lifeguard or hope of immediate rescue, so walk there at your own risk and even if you pass the treacherous Crag, the beach water will suck you in, chew you up and do anything but spit you out. The rip currents here are strong enough to draw even the strongest swimmers into their cold Embrace and leave them in the sea, the safest place. The beach is six miles away, so there's nowhere to go once you're in the water. More people have drowned here than on any other beach on Kauai. The bodies of 15 drowning victims have never been recovered.

It's a pretty scary place and there is a sign on the beach with a tally mark for each drowning just to make the danger more realistic for those who think they are strong enough. So far there are more than 80 brands on this sign. Visitors are advised to stay out of the water completely, but it may be best to avoid this. Otherwise the sign might say 81. Number four, Kipu Falls, if you go swimming at Kipu Falls, the best possible outcome is that you will only be charged with criminal trespass and that's if you're lucky, because a visit here also opens the door. possibility.

That you will never make it out of the swimming hole alive despite being on private land. Kipu Falls has been a popular swimming spot for decades, featuring in tourist guides since the secret was revealed in the 1990s, and despite being private land, the falls are fairly easy to get to. A short walk down a dirt road is all it takes to reach the 20-foot-high waterfall that flows into a stream and a beautiful pool below, but like so many other entrances here, this beauty comes with a hefty price tag, that goes even further. Kipu Falls Law has been the scene of many injuries and deaths, some of which have been incredibly difficult to explain.

Some of the most obvious incidents involve jumping from the top of the falls, but people drown here without much explanation. The waters here. They're not that wild, so even the most basic swimmers can wait, but about five people drown here in a five-year span. Several Kipu Falls revelers were seen swimming normally only to suddenly become distressed and disappear beneath the surface of the water. I saw them again until their bodies were pulled from the bottom of the pool to this day, there is not much explanation but some have claimed that a reptilian water spirit is dragging the people down and holding them at the bottom.

It is speculated that there is a jacuzzi at Kipu Falls. Whatever the cause of the deaths, the Kauai visitors bureau has asked guidebook publishers to keep Kipu Falls out of their brochures forever. The area is now fenced to further deter swimmers who will be prosecuted if caught trying. to enter the falls either by the local authorities or by authorities number three, the boiling lake, okay, nothing beats a secluded lake and the same could be said for a natural hot spring, so how nice would it be to have a fountain isolated thermal and while all of this certainly sounds good on paper, the next entry on our list takes those notions to the absolute extreme.

Dominica is home to a certain mountain lake hidden in the natural bushland with pure, clear blue water that also emits large amounts of steam at all hours. of the day Hyattop Watt Mountain in Morn Trois Pitones National Park is the boiling lake and boiling is not hyperbole jumping there means serious burns or death as you are boiled alive, fortunately, although the thick steam emitting from here should be enough to deter everyone. Daredevils visitors don't need to be very close to feel the heat, but if all this isn't convincing enough, the storm of churning water in the center of the lake confirms beyond a doubt that the water has boiled like a pod.

It was left on the stove set to high heat, and while all of this may look like a bubbling cauldron, the park's boiling lake is completely natural. Although quite rare, this vessel of boiling water has a direct line to the Earth's molten subsurface. with a fence that pumps scalds. The steam and gases in the water heating it to a boil instantly is quite a sight to see on the top of this Cloudy Mountain and seems to defy the laws of physics as the water always evaporates thanks to the constant boiling number two of Cable Beach and For the second to last beach on our list, of course, we return to the crazy place that is Australia Cable Beach in Australia is just under 14 miles long and has managed to become the most dangerous beach in the country, yes it is open to the public, yes , is beautiful. and the only thing warmer than the sand is the water, but you rest here at your own risk, there are even some stretches on the beach that you can't walk on unless you're accompanied by a guide, so what the hell is going on ?

Here, well, Cable Beach is crawling with hungry crocodiles and so hungry that in recent years corpses of people torn apart by these prehistoric beasts have been found in the sand. Yeah, that's never a fun sight when you're hoping to sunbathe down there. However, some parts are much safer than others and there are still some restaurants and hotels along the coast, as long as you stay among these massive crowds you should be fine as Crocs don't care about the masses but It's when you venture alone into the unknown, they have a better chance of catching you in their jaws and treating you to their number one death roll the red triangle California is definitely a great place to live, it's always hot in the southern part of the state and never You'll run out of things to do outdoors and the food isn't that bad either and since it's a huge coastal state you'll never run out of beaches to visit and while some may be much better than others, you may not want to pass by high the red triangle California's red triangle is made up of approximately 50 miles of beach stretching from Bodega Bay to San Francisco.

It is huge, impressive and absolutely beautiful. The triangle itself juts out into the ocean, but it all sounds great. So why is it on our list? Well, the red triangle is where over a third of all great white shark attacks occur, but 50 miles is a lot of beach and a lot of territory for these great white sharks and a lot of these attacks are happening. In more populated areas, sharks know where the people are, that's for sure, but these popular areas are also home to plenty of seals, sea lions, and otters, making the red triangle a buffet for these nasty fish.

Sharks haven't really developed. However, they like human meat, but they have a hard time differentiating us from their usual mammalian prey, so they have no problem taking a big chunk out of you.
