this is one of the most beautiful
tropical islands on earth but the view
comes at a high price you'd have to deal
with giant riptides hungry great white
sharks
and what is that thing growling behind
the trees
oh boy
what did you get yourself into
here's how to survive
the world's most dangerous beach
the most dangerous beach in the world is
located on frasier island on the
southeastern coast of queensland
australia his butular name is gary which
means paradise
sure this island earns its nickname with
its breathtaking scenery but it can turn
into a purgatory fast
its 120 kilometer length is a minefield
of dangers water predators
rain forest beasts
and even the sand itself could be lethal
there may not be lifeguards to help so
you're on your own this time
could you outswim a riptide
which creature could eat your child
how could vinegar save your life
step one don't pet the dogs
if you see a cute dog roaming across a
beach don't pet it it's a dingo these
wild animals scavenge for leftovers that
dirty humans leave on the beach
dingoes are curious and they'll
investigate human camps especially if
you leave food
dingles are highly aggressive towards
humans and have a history of attacking
little kids
step 2
beware of underwater killers
if you're brave enough to dip your toes
in these waters keep your eyes open
you can encounter the biggest most
dangerous water predator even in shallow
waters
standing face to face with a great white
shark is something straight out of your
nightmares but as unbearable as it
sounds you shouldn't panic splashing
water as you try swimming away would
only attract the shark and you can't
outswim it a great white might be easy
to spot but this tiny killer might not
be its bell is no bigger than 20
millimeters in diameter and the ira
kanji jellyfish is the world's most
venomous box jellyfish
if this cutie stings you you'll feel the
most excruciating pain and could have
trouble breathing
drenching the wound with vinegar for 30
seconds or more could help neutralize
the venom before it's too late
step 3
watch the waves
now that you can handle the wild things
that want to eat you you have to deal
with something that can drown you
since you can't rely on beach flags or
lifeguards being nearby you'll have to
look for signs of a riptide they're
quite common around fraser island
staring at the waves for a few minutes
will help you identify one
rip tides will look like dark spots in
the water moving in the opposite
direction of the other waves
and they'll have a rippled surface
surrounded by still water
if you find yourself trapped in a
riptide try to remain calm and don't try
swimming the shore you'll never outswim
a riptide
instead swim parallel to the shore and
toward breaking waves
step 4
don't drive
while you're on the most dangerous beach
of all
maybe you should leave your vehicle
behind
these sandy beaches could cause drivers
to wipe out roll over or have head-on
collisions
in 2018 a group of tourists decided to
drive their range rover along the beach
but the high tide waterlogged the sand
and rolled the car over
the people got out of the vehicle
quickly but it couldn't be removed for a
few days
by then the sand had covered most of the
overturned
car step 5
find a creek
keep in mind that you're on a remote
island if you get hurt you won't be able
to get medical help there
maybe you should stay out of the shark
infested waters
you can swim in eli creek inside the
island it has clear fresh water that you
can enjoy
or try lake mackenzie which is
surrounded by tea trees their oil is
said to heal aches and pains and the
water is free of jellyfish
you survived the dangers of fraser
island
and now you've developed a taste for
treacherous travels
the next stop on your list is the
devil's pool take one wrong step here
and you could plummet 108 meters to your
death
if you don't want that to happen
keep watching
how to survive
