8. Homigot, South Korea
Homigot is a popular destination for location for locals and with the help of human intervention, they managed to make this beach quite strange! Since this is the easternmost point in South Korea, the sun strikes this location first. Korean artists got work and decided to come up with this creepy statue to put in the ocean. Titled the Sunrise at the Hands of Harmony, this piece of art just made this beach just a tad more unsettling.
7. Hot Water Beach, New Zealand
If you come to this beach on the north island, east of Auckland, you’d probably begin to wonder why so many people are digging holes in the ground to sit in! Seems a little childish. You’d then later realize they were basically digging their own hot tubs. Underground water can reach temperatures of 147 degrees fahrenheit which is just right for a nice bath. The best time normally to enjoy the hot springs is when the tide is low. Each little pool you make will eventually get washed away, but don’t worry. If you come back again, you can make a new one!
6. Papakolea Beach, Hawaii
So we’ve seen pink and black sand beaches but what about about green! Yes, it does actually exist and it’s also located on the Hawaii’s Big Island, just a quick drive south of the Black Sands Beach! What might almost seem like grass or algae at first is actually the green coloring derived from high amounts olivine crystals that come from eroded lava flow. This is one of the truly magical beaches in Hawaii and it requires a bit of a hike in order to get here, but it certainly seems worth it. How many other chances do you get to see a green beach?!
5. Maho Beach, St. Maarten
If you’re afraid of airplanes or want to sunbathe without the loud noises the produce this might not be the place for you! However, it is one of the more unique settings due to the fact that airplanes are flying about 50 over your head! It’s location is literally steps away from Princess Juliana International Airport. While it does sort of seem cool, there was one woman injured by a jet blast and there have been warnings posted to beachgoers here. The jet blast sent her flying and she hit her head pretty hard on a concrete bench. The jet blasts also sends whirlwinds of sand across the beach. Not the best place for a honeymoon, but unique nonetheless.
4. Anjuna Beach India
No, these aren’t large people in bikinis, there are literally cows on the beach! In Goa of Western India cows are welcome to lay beachside next to people and it’s considered to be a sacred beach. It’s definitely not something you would see every day. Don’t dare plan on enjoying a hamburger on the beach next to these cows! They’re are considered to be holy beings and they probably won’t take to kindly to you eating their gods over here! Just watch where you step! This certainly seems like a beach peta activists would enjoy coming to.
3. Big Major Cay, Bahamas
Pigs might not be able to fly but here at this beach in the bahamas, they can certainly swim. This remote island in the Caribbean is home to pigs who roam the beaches and soak up the tropical sun. The waters here stay at a warm 24 degrees celsius and it’s still a mystery on how the pigs actually got here. Some claim that sailors dropped off the pigs and planned on coming back later to eat them but next did. People come by on yachts to keep them well fed and enjoy taking a swim with them at this unique beach.
2. Red Sand Beach, Galapagos Islands
On Rabida Island just west of Ecuador, is home to a diverse wildlife that attracts many biologists. It’s home to flamingos, pelicans, Galapagos turtles, sea lions and don’t forget about the red sands beach! The color of the sand here is a much darker red than the pink beaches we saw in the Bahamas, almost like a large amount of blood has washed up on the shore! Rest assured, it’s only from the large amounts of iron in the volcanic matter that’s deposited here.
1.Mudhdhoo Island, Maldives
Our most bizarre beach on this list is definitely the one that actually glows in the dark. It’s located in the Maldives, tucked away in the Indian Ocean. It’s absolutely breathtaking. The organisms that create these lights are from ostracod crustaceans. A natural chemical reaction happens when this microorganism is disturbed by oxygen. In this photo you see thousands of specs of glowing blue light, lighting up the ocean!
Beware These Worst Beaches for Shark Attacks!
Shark attacks seem to be on the rise in many parts of the world, therefore, you might want to steer clear of the following known shark-infested waters. Statistically, these are among the most dangerous beaches for deadly shark attacks.
1. Pernambuco, Brazil
The shockingly high attack rate in these waters appears to be due to over-fishing. Without enough food supply, the sharks have begun to sample other forms of fare to satisfy their relentless hunger.
2. Second Beach, South Africa
The beach is popular among shark-seeking tourists and cage divers. Tour operators dump boatloads of bloody chum in the water order to entice the great whites. You definitely don’t want to surf or swim anywhere near these boats and their chum lines.
3. New Smyrna Beach, Florida
More than 238 shark attacks have been documented at Florida’s (surprisingly) popular New Smyrna Beach. In fact, 15% of worldwide shark bites have occurred here. Most of the bites are courtesy of baby bull sharks that favor these waters. To date, none of the recorded attacks here have been fatal.
4. Velzyland Beach, Hawaii
About 41 different shark species that frequent Hawaii’s waters including aggressive specimens like bull sharks and great whites. The last fatal shark attack at this beach occurred in 1994 when a tiger shark attacked a surfer. More recent attacks on surfers have been reported, but none fatal.
5. New South Wales, Australia
This region, which includes famous Bondi Beach, has recorded more than 170 unprovoked shark attacks and more than 50 fatal attacks, and great white shark encounters are more common here than in other parts of the world. Due to the position of the continental shelf, swimmers and surfers are in close proximity of deep waters where these potential predators cruise.
6. Fletcher Cove, California
Fletcher Cove may be picturesque, but it is also the scene of 142 unprovoked shark attacks, including some recent fatalities. Scientists are convinced that the fish-strewn waters in this region are ideal feeding grounds for large predators like the great white.
7. Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
This island has had more than 10 attacks in a recent two-year period, three being fatal. This has prompted island officials to close the beaches to swimmers and surfers. Experts aren’t sure why the sharks are biting people with greater frequency.
8. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Since 2005, there have been more than fifty attacks. In fact, researchers have claimed that South Carolina’s waters are just as dangerous as Florida’s when comparing the swimmer-to-attack ratio. Their waters are attractive to species like tiger sharks and bull sharks.
9. Coffin Bay, Australia
The name says it all. Don’t swim here unless you fancy a meeting with a great white. Recently an abalone diver was attacked and killed by two great white sharks. His body was never recovered.
10. Surf Beach, California
A nineteen-year-old surfer was attacked and killed a few years ago by a great white shark believed to be 18 feet in length. The waters here are home to seals, which attract great whites in large numbers.

Hot Water Beach - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year - Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 8: We’re digging our own hot pool at Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel! That’s today’s activity on New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year where we do 365 Days: 365 Activities.
Yesterday - Day 7 -
Tomorrow – Day 9 –
About this video:
We’re in the Coromandel region of New Zealand! Today’s activity is to dig our very own hot pool at Hot Water Beach. An underwater spring feeds hot water and emerges under the sand. We need to dig to get to the Hot Water Beach hot pool then let the ocean cool down the temperature.
To get to Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel, we hire bikes from the Hot Water Beach Top 10 Holiday Park, as well as some spades to dig a hole! We bike to Hot Water Beach, find the perfect spot, and start digging our hot pool. Or at least, one of us does!
After relaxing on Hot Water Beach and taking in the Coromandel scenery, we hop back on our bikes and cycle through the forest. Next, we head back to the Hot Water Beach Top 10 Holiday Park.
