The Red Triangle - California

There are so many amazing coastal regions in California, but have you ever heard of the Red Triangle? This area extends from Bodega Bay to the Farallon Islands and then to Monterey and is a hive of marine life. However, the animals that live here are the favored prey of great white sharks - meaning it's one of the most dangerous places in the world. In fact, 38% of great white shark attacks on humans in the US have occurred here!

Because of this, it's considered to be incredibly dangerous for people to swim in and around these waters. That doesn't stop people from giving it a go every so often, though.
