get some sun
you need to worry about cassowaries who
are related to the emu

the land from october to early june
thanks to the thousands of boxed
jellyfish
these creatures swarm near the beach and
they're translucent
making them almost impossible to see

will die in minutes

swimmers and paddle boarders who spend
time in the waters
number eight hanukkah paella beach
hawaii
this beach is located in a picturesque
location

need to hike two miles along the kalalau
trail
along kuwai's nepali coast because the
beach is
so remote there are no lifeguards on
duty and this is one of the most
dangerous beaches in the world
there are very powerful rip currents
which can pull swimmers out to sea
and there would be nobody with
life-saving skills nearby

they would have to swim
for six miles before they would reach
the next
safest shore over the years 83 people
have drowned in the water
after underestimating the waves
