I tried to put in some dye and I put about 3 x as much dye in my bucket as I normally do, but couldn’t wade too far out as I was barely able to stand up against the current when I was at waste depth

Woolamai Beach has big waves and big rips…and lots of them. It is right up there with Muriwai Beach in New Zealand as one of the most dangerous beaches I’ve ever seen.

Just to the right of the rocks on the beach was a rip current that is likely persistent in location due to the presence of the rocks. It may have been the same rip current the poor family drowned in.

Now I’m not exactly sure where this beach is on Phu Quoc because it’s a big island, but the rip currents are the large channels of darker water where the waves aren’t breaking.

I was shocked to learn that the beaches can be quite dangerous a lot of the time with large waves and strong rip currents.

Here is the second instalment of my ‘Images Taken off the Web of Famous Tourist Beaches that have Rip Currents that Never Get Mentioned in the Tourist Promos’ series

So here is Kuta Beach in Bali, the first beach I ever visited in South-East Asia, way back in 1992.
