Rip-current hotspots
Most drownings happen at the busiest points, where the sand channels shift.
- Laboni High risk
- Sugandha High risk
- Kolatoli High risk
Lifeguards cover only part of the beach. Ask your hotel where today's lifeguard zone is.
Enjoy the sea, safely.
Strong rip currents form along the main beach, and lifeguards can't watch all of it. A minute here could save a life.
