If You Ever See This At The Beach, Stay Far Away!

Be Amazed at these potentially harmful and dangerous things seen at the beach! Tsunami warning signs - Tsunamis have been one of the most feared beach events since the infamous boxing day tsunami of 2004 which killed an astounding number of people, with a final death toll of more than 250,000. Coral, urchins, anemones and sea ferns - Some of the sea’s strangest constructs are the insane populations of colourful corals, urchins, ferns and anemones which line coastlines and reefs worldwide. Shorebreaks & Rip currents - Rip currents don’t happen everywhere but some beaches do suffer from these life-threatening sea events and vigilance will prevent you from ever getting caught up in one of these scary episodes. Bristle worm - Bristle worms are the stuff of deep-sea nightmares. There are over 10,000 species of bristle worms and they often reside amongst rocks in shallow waters. Bacteria - Departing from sea creatures, we now have something which can hurt you at the beach and you simply cannot see it coming. Stonefish - The Stonefish is one of the most well-known beach-horrors in this video. Another highly complex and extraordinarily adaptive creature, the stonefish is the sea’s most venomous fish. Marbled cone snail - This funnily dangerous snail is such a strange host of some of the world’s deadliest venom. Jellyfish and the Portuguese Man o’ War - Although they aren’t actually jellyfish, The Portuguese Man of War is a real tyrant and some have been known to grow to 50 metres below the seas.Harmful Algal Blooms & polluted waters - We know that the sea isn’t always an azure shade of blue but we don’t expect it to be red either. That’s what happens when algae accumulates at the shore, blooming rapidly. Razorfish - These aren’t really fish at all, they’re actually molluscs encased in a sharp shell which really does resemble that of a cut-throat razor.
