The Costa del Sol is a region in the south of Spain, in the community of Andalusia, which includes the the coastal towns and communities along the coastline of the Province of Málaga.
This past summer, thousands of monster jellyfish plagued the beaches. Authorities dragged more than 1 tonnes of the sea animals from the sea, to make the water conditions safer for visitors.
A BEACH IN AUSTRALIA
A humongous oarfish was found on a beach in Australia. So monsters really do exist... The oarfish is the world’s longest bony fish. It has a ribbon-like shape, with a dorsal fin along its whole length and long, oar-shaped pelvic fins.
Its fins have been recorded at around 36 feet with a maximum recorded weight of a giant oarfish at 600 pounds.
THE COAST OF QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
This beach is one of the most dangerous in the world, and for a good reason. Thousands of mini blue bottle jellyfish were washed to shore here. The problem? These jellyfish are extremely poisonous and so small that it makes it difficult to spot them in the water. Unlike other jellyfish, it has stingers all over its body and is able to fire stingers and inject venom into its victim.
Symptoms of one of these stings include severe pain lasting several hours, headaches, vomiting, stomach cramps and possible cardiac problems. As ocean waters get warmer, many tropical marine species are moving into subtropical waters, posing a greater risk to a larger amount of people.
Fraser Island, Australia
This island located along the southeastern coast of Queensland, Australia may offer lush white sand and crystal water..

Volusia County, Florida
Just off the east-central part of Florida lies a county that has seen 267 shark attacks since 1982. Luckily, none resulted in death, but still, not pleasant.
In 2017, the county led the world in shark attacks and 19 bites were reported here alone. Another reason to steer clear? You have a greater chance of being struck by lightning here.
