We have a spot on the ocean shore, right at (below, at sea level) the entrance to a state park, in an urban area: it's known locally as "the toilet bowl" and it's node/3370641047.
It's tagged hazard=yes (best I could do at the time, I suppose; I tagged it in 2015) and "dangerous area, no swimming."
We can do better (now or soon).
