Gansbaai Beach - Gansbaai, South Africa

South Africa is known for its impressive wildlife, but would you want to swim at the 'Great White Shark Capital of the World'? Well, that's exactly what the beaches in Gansbaai are known as. And while these beaches are famous for their impressive surfing opportunities, many surfers have found themselves in trouble when they come face to face with these great whites over the years. That must be pretty scary!
