Aksa Beach

It is not safe to swim, as the currents are strong, and the sands of the beach keep shifting because of the waves, and people often misjudge them. Warning signs of swimming prohibition have been put on the beach, and lifeguards have been appointed: however, accidents are common due to rapidly changing tides, and the merging to two tide currents on the rocky beach and people ignoring warning. The beach gets even more dangerous during monsoon season, though 15,000 people visit the beach during weekends. Quicksand is also found in the waters, often causing danger. == Drowning incidents ==

Aksa Beach, located in Mumbai, India, has been identified as one of the beaches with the highest number of drowning incidents. Records indicate that between 2006 and 2018, an average of 38 people drowned every year due to drowning incidents, while 445 individuals were rescued after near-drowning experiences and 45 lost their lives during 2006-2018. In total, 15 drowning spots have been identified along the beach, with the highest number of incidents occurring in 2007. Pre-monsoon season, which coincides with the peak summer vacation period, is when the beach sees the greatest number of incidents, owing to the large crowds that gather there. ==See also==
