June 2025 — What started as a peaceful day at the beach turned into chaos as thick, black smoke suddenly began billowing out of the ocean, forcing beachgoers to run for their lives.
In a moment captured on video by a stunned onlooker, plumes of dark grey smoke can be seen rising straight from the water, slowly creeping toward the crowded shoreline. Within seconds, the calm seaside atmosphere is shattered by the wail of sirens and flashing lights, as firefighters rush onto the sand — their trucks rumbling over beach towels and umbrellas left behind in the panic.
Witnesses say the smoke “came out of nowhere,” rolling in fast and filling the air with a choking, chemical-like scent. One beach visitor described it as “something out of a disaster movie” — adding, “It didn’t make sense. Smoke was coming from the sea. We thought the ocean was on fire.”
While officials have not yet confirmed the cause, early speculation points to a possible boat explosion, underwater fuel leak, or even a submerged electrical fire. Firefighters worked quickly to evacuate the beach, warning that wind could blow toxic smoke inland within minutes.
No injuries have been reported so far, but the video — now going viral on social media — shows just how quickly an ordinary summer day can spiral into a nightmare.
Authorities are urging people to avoid the area as investigations continue.
