Beach Facts

There's an island in the Bahamas called Big Major Cay (or Pig Beach), which is only inhabited by swimming pigs.

In 2008, a beach was stolen in Jamaica. The 500 truckloads of sand remain missing to this day.

Two boys were caught in a riptide off Panama City Beach, Florida. Nine family members swam out to help and got trapped too. A couple on the beach remembered how ants link their bodies to rescue their young. They started grabbing strangers' hands. 80 people formed a human chain into the Gulf of Mexico and held it for over an hour. Everyone survived.
