10San Clemente Pier, California, USA
When compared to the rest of the beaches, the San Clemente Pier looks much cleaner. But it’s actually one of the dirtiest beaches in the greater Los Angeles area.
9Haina, Dominican Republic
Haina, or Bajos de Jaina, is a coastal town in the Dominican Republic.
The southwestern part of Haina faces the Caribbean Sea and it’s really surprising to have one of the Caribbean islands be included in this list.
8Serendipity Beach, Cambodia
Sihanoukville is perhaps the most popular town to go to if a tourist wants to enjoy the beaches of Cambodia.
But try to avoid Serendipity Beach. This beach is riddled with trash and plastic waste swimming in the water and lying on the shore.
7Guanabara Bay, Brazil
These waters are dirty, polluted with trash of all types, shape and color, and contaminated with a petri dish full of sample bacteria.
6Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
There’s nothing pretty about the situation on the beaches of Kota Kinabalu, a coastal town in northeast Malaysia, where trash or marine debris is a big problem.
5Juhu Beach, India
It’s been overrun by trash, instead of sand on the shore it’s trash. Still, locals like it. Let’s just hope they like it enough to finally clean it up one day.
4Kuta Beach, Indonesia
Locals say that the trash comes from everywhere else, especially when the water current is strong and the winds help carry the trash to the shores of Kuta Beach.
3Kamilo Beach, Hawaii, USA
This beach is located south of the Big Island and it’s just shocking to see how much trash is thrown in the ocean.
2Maya Bay, Thailand
It is truly a paradise. But since that film’s release, tourists came in the hundreds, then thousands, until the visitors left more trash than the locals could take out.
1Phu Quoc, Vietnam
Vietnam is a country located between Thailand and Malaysia.
It is surrounded by the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. One island west of Ho Chi Minh City is also surrounded by rubbish, Phu Quoc.
