Brits heading abroad to the Canary Islands have been issued a stark warning over the dangers of snapping selfies this summer, with the Association for the Prevention of Drowning and Aquatic Accidents 'Canarias, 1500 KM de Costa' detailing how more and more people are posing in precarious positions which could prove fatal.
The organisation has also warned about ignoring red flags, bathing on unsupervised beaches, using floats in the sea and being caught up in 'return currents'. A spokesman, said: "Imprudence can lead to drowning or another type of accident both on beaches and in swimming pools, rivers and other bathing areas."
With summer just around the corner, some of Spain's most popular holiday hotspots are readying themselves to welcome millions of boozy beachgoers and fun-seeking families. And while the scenery across the land is superb, Britons are being warned about taking photos on the coast - especially on cliffs or rocky areas.
