Reunion Island - Indian Ocean

Located in the Indian Ocean, Reunion Island is about 180km away from Mauritius and 680km from Madagascar. And thanks to its remote location, this island is full of pristine beaches that look like they've been pulled from a postcard. However, looks can be deceiving, and it turns out that these beaches are home to some of the deadliest sharks in the world. And, unfortunately, shark attacks are pretty common here.

Many people have died swimming in the waters of Reunion Island, which has forced the governing body to put bans on people swimming or taking part in any watersports at certain times of the year.
