If you're planning a beach day, don't forget to bring a garbage bag - it's like a game of "I Spy" trying to spot all the human trash littering the sand. And if you're thinking about going barefoot, think again - the debris situation is so bad, you might as well be walking through a landfill. But wait, there's more! If you're brave enough to attempt a visit during the rainy season, you'll have to navigate a river teeming with crocodiles just to get there. Talk about an adventure!
