Queensland, Australia

The second biggest territory in the Commonwealth of Australia is Queensland. However, it is part of our list of deadly places to swim in. The main reason for this might be something you would never expect: it is home to many terrifying and deadly creatures. The list of the said creatures can go one forever. To name a few, there are stonefish, sharks, box jellyfish, saltwater crocodiles, and extremely fatal blue-ringed octopi. The box jellyfish, in particular, is incredibly fatal. A single sting from this small creature can cause an immediate cardiac arrest which could kill you very quickly. It’s definitely not the kind of fun you want, right?

Bolinas Beach, California

While California is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, it is also the location of some of the world’s deadliest. One such example is the Bolinas Beach. The locals are appalled to learn that it is part of the infamous Red Triangle, a place where great white sharks often hunt for food. You can easily tell why this place is popular with sharks. It has a large population of seals and the like. As the place has a lot of the said animals, sharks sometimes mistake swimmers and divers nearby as food, which results in a shark attack. Although it doesn’t occur frequently, (as a matter of fact, it rarely happens at all), it does occur sometimes. The results are often deadly when there is an attack. Which is why this place is still part of our list.
