New Smyrna Beach forget all that fun in the Sun beach volleyball sandcastle and wave riding kind of weather Florida is one of the top tourist destinations when it comes to beaches in the summer but it's also a state that's home to one of the most dangerous tourist beaches in the world at New Smyrna there have been a recorded 238 cases of sharks being violent towards humans in fact the Guinness Book of World Records has it as the shark capital of the world when it comes to shark related incidents and it might have something to do with the fact there's a nearby inlet of water that is said to be an immensely fertile environment for sharks to find prey most of the time these bull sharks are young and probably don't even realize they're going after humans instead of other fish still it's best not to get too far out in the water after all there are other beaches in Florida

Death Valley National Park:despite the name Death Valley proves to be a popular tourist attraction mostly in part there's a lot of great views to take in from blooming flowers to scenic jagged surfaces and sand dunes visitors come from all over to experience the outdoor scenery located in eastern California what makes this desert Valley so dangerous of course is the heat with temperatures reaching up to 134 degrees Fahrenheit the highest temperature ever recorded on the Earth's surface it's basically a huge vast oven and if you don't bring enough water here the human body can only last a couple hours strangely enough incidents involving cars is another reason why Death Valley is so dangerous as there's very steep downhill roads that people may not realize are thereCliffs of Moher most people might recognize the Cliffs of Moher as it is an iconic landscape in Ireland that lots of movies like to set their epic cliffside scenes in and as beautiful as it is walking alongside these cliffs is also really dangerous and not just because they're so high up in fact you would be about 700 feet or 210 metres up from the water below couple that with the fact that the grass gets wet and slippery often and the winds can be really strong these cliffs are no stranger to people becoming susceptible to these conditions as long as you stick to the path laid ahead of you things should be fine but many visitors like to venture out a little closer to the edge some do so on purpose and jump

Mount Washington located in New Hampshire Mount Washington is a popular Natural Landmark as it is the highest peak in the northeastern region of the United States it stands at 6,200 88.2 feet tall or 1916 point 6 meters so not only is it super high up there but the area also holds the record for the highest recorded speed of winds at 203 miles per hour or 327 kilometers per hour the fastest in the world and then there's the fact that it's also a really cold environment if you couldn't tell by the frozen over buildings the temperatures here reach as low as negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit with the snowfalls here heavy compared to other peaks in the world it's actually not that tall and yet it's still one of the most dangerous
