A British tourist drowned while swimming in a beach that had a red flag raised.

Cullera beach, located south of Valencia, has become a popular vacation spot for tourists. However, amidst the beautiful scenery and enjoyable activities, tragedy struck when a British tourist drowned while swimming in the nearby sea.

According to local news, the 77-year-old man had ignored the red flag warnings raised by lifeguards and ventured into the water yesterday morning. Sadly, his lifeless body was later found at Racó beach, in Cullera. Paramedics were immediately called and attempted CPR for 30 minutes, but unfortunately, their efforts were in vain.

It is not clear at this time whether the man had a pre-existing medical condition or if the rough sea conditions left him unable to swim. The area of coastline at Cullera is known for its strong currents, making it a dangerous spot for swimmers.

This is not the first time such a tragic incident has occurred at this beach. In fact, just last month, a 56-year-old man lost his life at Racó beach, and another drowning occurred at San Antonio beach a few weeks prior. It seems that even with the presence of lifeguards and warning flags, people are still putting themselves at risk by venturing into the treacherous waters.

In a similar incident, a British woman passed away in July while vacationing in Lanzarote. She was at the Las Cucharas resort with her family when she got into trouble in the water. Although an autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death, authorities do not suspect any foul play.

Sadly, this is not an isolated event. In June, a man named Bryn Thomas from Southampton also lost his life at La Roqueta beach in the Costa Blanca resort. He had rushed into the water to help two struggling children but was unable to save himself. It is a reminder that even when trying to do a good deed, we must always put our own safety first.
