    Don't swim in waters which are not familiar to you. The sea is not a swimming pool.

    We get a similar phenomenon in north eastern and some other norther parts of Australia. At low tide the sands can be exposed for up to 5 kilometers away from the main sloping beach (high tide mark). It can stay that way for an hour or so and it is easy and common to walk out quite a distance. But, when the tide turns those kilometers of flat reaching sands become covered quite quickly and many people find them selves overtaken by the incoming tide and having to swim to get back to shore.

    The waves carve the black pebbles so beautifully. And many such stormy ocean waves at many locations there. It has carved huge holes too. Basalt layered inlets. It has many sailors injured while fishing ?!?

      They should require tourists to attend a seminar before going on the beach. OR, post the number of people who have died from said tides,& describe the tides. We stupid Americans have never heard of tides like that, except when there was an undersea earthquake, when the sea recedes to come back with a vengeance.😭🙏

      @@cynthiagonzalez658 We do have a lot of public awareness campaigns and the tourist brochures give warnings plus public beaches in those areas have warnings. But that's what everyone reads after they get back, if they do. I don't think we have had many loss of life from it but it still a long way to get to shore with with water around your chest and sharks around your ankles. :)
