Dameisha Beach: The World’s most crowded Beach

 

Dameisha Beach, located in Shenzhen, China, is often described as one of the most crowded beaches in the world. The reason behind its reputation is its extraordinary visitor numbers. Despite being only 1.8 kilometres (1.1 miles) long, the beach can attract nearly 200,000 people at a time during particularly busy periods, turning the popular seaside destination into a sea of people.

Located in southeastern China, Dameisha Beach is one of Shenzhen’s most famous recreational destinations. Its relatively short stretch of sandy coastline becomes extremely crowded during weekends and public holidays, especially during the summer months. The sheer number of visitors has become such a major concern that local authorities have introduced measures to control the number of people entering the beach.

The extent of the crowds can easily be understood by looking at reviews posted by visitors on travel platforms such as TripAdvisor. Some tourists have complained that the beach becomes so overcrowded that it is difficult even to reach the water. Instead of enjoying a peaceful day by the sea, visitors often find themselves surrounded by thousands of other people competing for space on the sand.

Since Dameisha is a public beach, it is theoretically open to everyone. However, in recent years, authorities in Shenzhen have introduced restrictions during the peak season, generally from May to October. The number of visitors allowed to enter the beach can be limited to around 80,000 per day in an effort to prevent excessive overcrowding and maintain public safety.

 

A mandatory reservation system has also been introduced during busy periods. Visitors are required to make a reservation before travelling to the beach on their chosen date. The system allows authorities to monitor the number of people entering the area and prevent the beach from becoming dangerously overcrowded.

Although a daily limit of 80,000 visitors may already sound enormous, reports indicate that the beach has witnessed even larger crowds on certain occasions. At times, as many as 200,000 people have reportedly gathered at the same time. With such a massive crowd occupying a relatively small area, simple activities such as walking, swimming or relaxing under the sun can become extremely difficult.

One of the major factors contributing to Dameisha Beach’s popularity is its accessibility. The beach is well connected through public transportation, with several bus routes providing convenient access to the area. Even more importantly, a metro station is located directly opposite the beach, making it easy for large numbers of local residents and tourists to reach the destination without relying on private vehicles.

Another major attraction is that entry to the beach is free. This makes Dameisha an affordable recreational option for both residents of Shenzhen and visitors from other areas. Its convenient location, free admission and easy access through public transportation have all contributed to its enormous popularity.

Despite the negative reviews posted by some visitors about the extreme crowds, Dameisha Beach continues to attract huge numbers of people during the summer season. Images and videos showing thousands of visitors packed tightly along the shoreline frequently circulate on social media, further contributing to the beach’s unusual reputation.

For many visitors, the sheer scale of the crowds is itself an extraordinary sight. Dameisha Beach demonstrates how a relatively small public space can become one of the busiest recreational destinations when accessibility, affordability and popularity come together.

    US rejects Iran’s Hormuz demands

    The United States has rejected Iran’s demands concerning the management and monitoring of maritime traffic in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, with US officials saying that Tehran’s proposals have not received approval from Oman or the broader international community. American officials said the agreement under discussion focuses only on coordination between the countries involved and does not include any taxes, transit fees, or other financial charges. They described Iran’s demands as unnecessary and maintained that the proposed arrangement should remain limited to practical coordination aimed at facilitating the movement of vessels through the strategic waterway. The US officials’ remarks came after Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi revealed that Tehran had proposed a joint monitoring mechanism with Oman for shipping activity in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Gharibabadi, Iran has suggested that each country should manage maritime traffic on its respective side of the strait. Under the proposal, Iranian authorities would oversee vessels and shipping movements in the section under Iran’s responsibility, while Oman would monitor traffic moving through the opposite side. Gharibabadi presented the proposal as an effort to improve coordination and maintain smooth maritime traffic through the strategically located waterway. The Iranian government has long emphasized the importance of regional countries taking greater responsibility for security and navigation in the Gulf and surrounding waters. However, US officials have challenged Iran’s position and said the demands made by Tehran do not form part of the limited coordination framework currently under discussion. They also indicated that neither Oman nor the wider international community has accepted Iran’s proposed conditions. The Strait of Hormuz plays a crucial role in global energy trade. The narrow waterway connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, making it a key route for international oil and gas shipments. Any disruption or uncertainty surrounding navigation in the strait could have consequences for global energy markets, shipping costs, and regional security. The latest disagreement comes amid broader tensions between Iran and the United States over regional security and maritime activity. Tehran has repeatedly stressed its role in maintaining security in the Gulf, while Washington has continued to monitor developments in the area and protect freedom of navigation for commercial and international shipping. The dispute over the proposed arrangement highlights the continuing differences between the two sides over the management of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. While Iran views its proposal as a framework for shared regional oversight and coordination, the United States maintains that any agreement should focus strictly on coordination and should not impose additional demands, taxes, or fees on international shipping. The issue remains significant because of the strait’s importance to the global economy. Any escalation between Iran and the United States or disagreement over maritime access could draw international attention and raise concerns about the safety and uninterrupted movement of commercial vessels through one of the world’s most important shipping corridors.

    Iran rejects 60-day deadline in US MoU, blames Was…

    TEHRAN: Iran has rejected claims that a 60-day deadline had expired under its memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States, saying the agreement never imposed a fixed deadline on Tehran and that its decisions would be guided by national interests and security. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei made the remarks during a press briefing on Monday as the period referenced in discussions between Tehran and Washington came to an end. “There is no such thing as a 60-day deadline in the text of the MoU,” Baqaei said, according to Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency. He stressed that Iran would not formulate its policies under pressure, ultimatums or externally imposed time limits. According to Baqaei, the agreement provided a 60-day window for negotiations focused on two key issues — sanctions relief and Iran’s nuclear programme. He said the period could have been extended if the two sides failed to reach an outcome. However, Tehran argues that the understanding became irrelevant after what it described as widespread US violations of the agreement. Baqaei said no talks were ultimately launched under the framework because of Washington’s alleged actions. The MoU was signed on June 18 following weeks of diplomatic efforts aimed at easing the wider Middle East conflict and reopening the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The waterway is a major route for global energy shipments, making any disruption there a concern for international markets. Tensions later escalated, with Iran accusing the United States of breaching the understanding. Hostilities resumed on July 7, when Iranian forces attacked commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, including a Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker. The United States subsequently carried out several waves of strikes against Iranian military targets. The conflict also expanded beyond the Gulf, with Yemen’s Houthi rebels imposing a naval blockade affecting Saudi Arabia and adding pressure on another vital regional shipping route. Missing pilots Baqaei also raised the issue of three Iranian pilots whose fate remains disputed. Tehran says the pilots went missing during an operation targeting the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in March. Iran now considers the missing men prisoners until their fate is clarified. Qatar, however, denies holding them and says it previously invited Iranian officials to receive details about search-and-rescue operations. Oil spill dispute The Iranian spokesman also blamed US military operations for environmental damage in Gulf waters and called for Washington to be held responsible. Iran recently demanded compensation over an oil slick that reached Qeshm Island, affecting beaches and mangrove areas. Tehran has blamed a foreign vessel for the spill, while outside reports have raised questions over the circumstances surrounding the incident. With diplomacy stalled and tensions continuing around the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s latest statement signals that Tehran is unwilling to accept Washington’s interpretation of the MoU or negotiate under a deadline.

    Trump vows heavy strikes on Iran’s Pickaxe M…

    President Donald Trump said Monday that US forces will hit the Pickaxe Mountain area, located near Iran’s already heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, very heavily in the near future. Trump had threatened the site last week, saying the United States was going to take out Pickaxe Mountain, a heavily fortified location tied to Iran’s nuclear program that contains two deeply buried tunnel complexes. He also said Tuesday that Tehran wanted to meet desperately, adding that Washington has no interest until Iran shows readiness to engage in a meaningful way. Facing mounting political pressure at home over rising gasoline prices since the war began, and with Iran having effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, Trump defended the latest strikes as a response to the deaths of American service members killed in recent Iranian attacks. He wrote on social media Monday that Iran will pay many times over every time it kills an American soldier, saying he had passed the directive to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Daniel Caine and every military leader. The broader conflict has killed thousands of civilians, most of them in Iran and Lebanon, where Israeli forces have occupied part of the country following attacks by Hezbollah fighters who said they acted in solidarity with Tehran. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met Trump at the White House Tuesday, thanking him for what he called a historic achievement in signing a Lebanon Israel framework agreement. Aoun said he had looked forward to the visit for a long time and that the region is due for stability and security. Trump said he would speak with Hezbollah if Aoun wanted him to, noting he has already communicated with the group through intermediaries in June and secured a pledge that it would not attack Israel, a first for any US president given Hezbollah’s designation as a terrorist organization. Trump also addressed threats from Yemen’s Houthi movement to block Red Sea shipping, saying the United States would take care of business if the group follows through on a naval blockade. Two oil tankers carrying Saudi crude toward Asia reversed course in the Red Sea Tuesday after Houthi threats, diverting toward the Suez Canal, though Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea port of Yanbu continued operating normally. The Houthis said Monday they were imposing an immediate maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, citing what they called an unjust and oppressive siege imposed on Yemen for nearly 12 years. The Saudi led coalition in Yemen said it would respond with force and began protective measures for ships transiting the Bab el Mandeb Strait, a critical route for Saudi oil exports following the effective closure of Hormuz. Yemen’s defence minister said separately that the government’s army stood ready to end what he called the Houthi coup, while clashes between government forces and Houthi fighters have resumed in parts of the country. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said two oil tankers exploded after attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz via an unsafe route, a claim that followed a similar Sunday statement describing an accident involving two vessels in the same area, though it remains unclear whether the incidents were connected. A separate vessel was struck by an unidentified projectile off Oman’s coast near the strait, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency. Inside Iran, explosions were reported in Tabriz, Chabahar, Konarak, Bandar Mahshahr and Bandar Imam Khomeini, with one person killed and several wounded southwest of Tabriz, state media reported. Iran’s Guards said they targeted US aircraft at Jordan’s Aqaba airport with ballistic missiles, along with military assets at Kuwait’s Al Adiri camp and Ali Al Salem Air Base, and additional positions in Syria. Air raid sirens sounded repeatedly in Bahrain throughout Monday, and Kuwait’s army said early Tuesday that its air defenses had again intercepted Iranian drones. Kuwait also said Iran struck its power and desalination infrastructure for a fourth consecutive day, sparking fires at several critical facilities that authorities have since extinguished while damage assessments and repairs continue. The United Arab Emirates condemned Iranian strikes on Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan as a flagrant violation of sovereignty and pledged full solidarity with the three nations. A separate vessel was struck by an unknown projectile off the UAE coast near Dibba, damaging its steering gear, though all crew members remained safe. Iranian state media quoted a military source as saying the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed as long as US strikes continue, with the source describing the waterway as fully under Iranian military control. Iran’s Guards also claimed a strike on central data infrastructure belonging to Amazon in Bahrain, a claim that could not be independently verified. Amid the widening conflict, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations called Tuesday for maximum restraint and an immediate halt to hostilities between Washington and Tehran, warning that continued fighting undermines mediation efforts and diminishes prospects for a peaceful resolution. A senior Iranian official said Tehran had received a proposal from mediators for a ten day ceasefire aimed at salvaging the interim agreement reached in June, though no further details were provided. Pakistani officials said Iran’s interior minister had asked Islamabad to resume its mediation role, and he later traveled to Pakistan for additional talks, continuing a diplomatic effort that Pakistan and Qatar have led since the earlier memorandum of understanding was signed. Separately, Britain’s new government faces pressure from Washington to maintain American access to strategic military bases including RAF Fairford and the Diego Garcia base on Chagos Island, according to a British newspaper report, with Trump said to be pressing new Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the issue shortly after Burnham took office this week.

    Trump warns Oman over Strait of Hormuz

    US President Donald Trump has warned Oman that Washington could launch an attack if Muscat interferes with US efforts in the Strait of Hormuz, according to comments he made in an interview with US media. Trump said the United States would take military action if Oman obstructed American operations in the strategically important waterway. His remarks mark another escalation in Washington’s warnings toward Oman, following a similar threat he reportedly made in May. The US president also said his administration had established a direct, behind-the-scenes communication channel with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He did not provide further details about the nature or purpose of those contacts. Trump also sought to underline the scale of America’s military capabilities, saying the United States still has extensive weapons stockpiles. He claimed that the amount of weaponry the US has used so far represents only a small fraction of its available reserves. “We have a lot of weapons left,” Trump said, while indicating that Washington still possesses large quantities of medium-range weapons. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical global energy route, making any potential military confrontation in the area a major concern for international markets and regional security. Any disruption to shipping through the strait could affect global oil supplies and trigger wider economic and geopolitical repercussions.

    Europe to witness rare total solar eclipse today

    A total solar eclipse is set to occur today, offering skywatchers across parts of Europe an opportunity to witness a rare astronomical phenomenon, according to Arab media reports. The eclipse is being described as the first total solar eclipse visible from Europe since 1999. The event will be particularly prominent in western Spain and Iceland, where observers will have the chance to see the Moon completely cover the Sun for a brief period. The total phase is expected to begin at around 6:27pm local time in the areas where the eclipse will be visible. Near Iceland, the period of totality is expected to last approximately two minutes and 18 seconds, making it one of the key locations for viewing the phenomenon. However, the eclipse will not be limited to areas experiencing totality. Several major European cities are expected to witness a significant partial eclipse. In Madrid and Barcelona, around 99% of the Sun’s disc will be obscured, while Paris is expected to experience approximately 92% coverage. London will see about 91% of the Sun covered, while Berlin is expected to experience an eclipse of around 85%. The exact appearance and timing of the eclipse will vary depending on the location of observers. Parts of Africa, Canada and the United States are also expected to witness the eclipse in its partial form, although the degree of visibility will differ from one region to another. Eclipse not visible in Pakistan Pakistanis will not be able to observe the solar eclipse, as the astronomical event will take place outside the country’s visible path. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has said that the eclipse will begin at approximately 8:34pm Pakistan Standard Time. It is expected to reach its maximum phase at around 10:46pm before ending at approximately 12:58am. Since the entire event will occur during nighttime in Pakistan, the eclipse will remain below the horizon and therefore cannot be seen from the country. The Meteorological Department has also indicated that another major astronomical event is expected later this month. A partial lunar eclipse is scheduled for August 28, but this event, too, will not be visible from Pakistan. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and temporarily blocks some or all of the Sun’s light from reaching certain parts of the Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the visible disc of the Sun for observers located within the narrow path of totality.

    Epstein survivor says abuse continued during his prison sentence

    A woman who says she was sexually exploited by convicted American financier Jeffrey Epstein has alleged that he continued to abuse her even while serving a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Rosa Jiles, an alleged survivor of Epstein’s abuse, said she faced sexual exploitation by him in 2009, when he was serving his sentence following a conviction related to prostitution involving an underage girl. According to Jiles, Epstein showed no remorse for his crimes and continued to prey on young women despite his criminal conviction. Jiles said her ordeal began when she was 18 and living in Uzbekistan. She claimed that a modeling agent offered her an opportunity to travel to the United States, but after she arrived, the agency placed her under financial pressure by charging her for expenses including rent, visa costs and other fees. To earn additional money, Jiles said she eventually took a receptionist job at one of Epstein’s offices. She recalled meeting Epstein for the first time in Palm Beach, Florida, where she alleged that he forced her to undress and sexually assaulted her on the same day. Jiles further claimed that the abuse continued regularly, particularly during weekends at a property in West Palm Beach. She said the alleged sexual exploitation did not end after Epstein’s release from house arrest in 2010 and continued in New York as well. According to Jiles, the experience left her convinced that authorities would never stop Epstein. She said she eventually managed to escape his control after becoming financially independent and gaining the ability to support herself. Jiles also alleged that Epstein never demonstrated genuine regret for his actions. In her account, his criminal conviction did not stop him from continuing to exploit vulnerable young women. Her allegations add to the accounts of women who have publicly described abuse and exploitation connected to Epstein, whose crimes and relationships with powerful figures drew international attention. Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
