8. Lamu Island Beach – Kenya
© Monnuage The beach on the island of Lamu, Kenya, is exceptional and this is one of the most slender natural destinations in the world. However, right now, and in the 21st century, it is dominated by pirates from Somalia and they rule in these waters. True, pirates still exist and are of the worst kind.
This is one of the beaches where you shouldn’t swim because there are reports of tourists and visitors who have disappeared in these waters. It is very likely that they were captured and traded for rewards, in a good way of pirate films. This is, without a doubt, a reality that you should know … and avoid!
9. Bikini Atoll Beach – USA

There were more than 23 nuclear bombs on this beach, which were used in several different test sites during the 40s and 50s. This means that the area still shows signs of radioactivity and, as a rule, no one wants to dive in such a place.
However, there are people who are willing to do anything and if you want to have that experience, this is also possible. Simply request advance approval and pay two official representatives and a professional diver to dive with you.
10. Koh Yao Yai – Thailand
© Go Thai. Be Free The best beaches in Thailand have been attracting tourists for decades and there are good reasons to justify this search: they are simply divine. These are beaches of fine white sand, full of palm trees and long stretches of still blue water with no end in sight.
Who can’t imagine relaxing in a place like this? Especially with a cheap flight to the region, low hotel rates, good food and infrastructure with all conditions – hence the reason why Thai beaches are among the most coveted in the world.
It is indeed an inspiring picture that makes us dream. But on Koh Yao Yai, in Phang Nga Bay, the beach is plagued by extremely dangerous tides (low tides and high tides) that can endanger your life. Sometimes the sea is so rough that the hotels on the coast themselves are full of mud due to the high tides – so no one can swim or relax.
