Rivers are better than beaches

I strongly believe that rivers are better than beaches . Here are three main reasons to support my argument…

One reason is, are that beaches are way more dangerous than rivers. Because there are rips and huge waves but in the river they don’t have them so that makes them more safe to swim in .

Another reason is, there are sea creatures that can hurt you like stingrays, jellyfish and sea urchins which makes it not safe to swim in the sea. plus there have been several reports of people swimming in the ocean and being eaten by sharks, and that's another reason that rivers are safer to swim in.

Finally, if swimming at the beach and suddenly the sand breaks beneath your feat and you could fall into a deep hole and drown, there might be an undertow and it will suck you into the water and out to sea but not when you are in the river.

 yes                                         no      

Beaches are dangerous.



Therefore I believe that rivers are better than beaches.
