Social media users are issuing stern warnings to beachgoers after a horrifying clip of a woman being swept out into the sea has gone viral.

The terrifying incident, thought to have occurred earlier this week, began when a 20-year-old woman and her boyfriend headed down to a beach in Sochi, Russia.

In a video, the pair could be seen wading through the frothy shallows together before holding hands and later embracing.

Unfortunately, it appears as if the couple picked a particularly brutal day for a beach stroll as the Black Sea began to crash down on the shore around them

The clip - seemingly captured by a bystander - saw the pair attempting to move away from the angry waves.

But while the man was able to escape, the woman was seemingly swept away into the water.

The woman surfaced again before another wave quickly crashed around her and she disappeared off the coast.

Realising that his girlfriend was in serious danger, the man ran along the beachfront, paced the shore and attempted to rescue her from the water.

According to reports, a search mission has been launched to save the woman but has so far been unsuccessful.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, media personality Colin Rugg has since added some more information.

He wrote to his 1.1 million followers: "Woman gets swept out to sea as her boyfriend frantically tries to help save her in Sochi, Russia. Devastating. The incident reportedly happened while the couple was visiting from the Russian city of Lipetsk.

“The couple could be seen going to the water's edge when massive waves came and swallowed the woman, an unidentified 20-year-old. The man tried to save her but it was too late.”

According to reports, the search for the missing woman has been expanded from ‘Rivera Beach to the Mamayka microdistrict'.

Meanwhile, The Southern Regional Search and Rescue Brigade confirmed that their mission remains futile.

"The search has not returned any results at this time,” a spokesperson confirmed. “The work continues.”

After viewing the viral video, viewers have come out in their droves to offer advice to holidaymakers.

“Never turn your back on the ocean,” said one social media.

Another typed: "If the sea is angry, stay the heck away from it. I was Coast Guard and pulled out too many bodies. A damn shame.”

“They didn’t see them strong ass waves??? Why would you even THINK about going in there,” someone else commented.

And a fourth viewer warned: "Never underestimate the Power of waves, especially during storms!”
