The Bay of Bengal is a massive body of water lying between India and Southeast Asia, and it’s a popular place to swim along the beaches of various nations in that region. However, it’s also home to a variety of dangers that depend on a traveler’s location. For instance, The Hindu reported that police in the Indian city of Chennai noted that Marina Beach has insufficient lifeguards and watch towers to prevent drowning fatalities.

Elsewhere, The Daily Mirror reported that popular tourist zones in the Andaman Islands, like Swaraj, feature warnings informing visitors of the presence of crocodiles. The Bay of Bengal is also home to North Sentinel Island, which is populated by an aggressively isolationist tribe known to attack visitors on sight. As for the bay at large, AP News noted that it’s prone to cyclones.
