I wouldn't say it's that anymore dangerous then any other beach though, it's more a matter of way more people equating the ocean to a big pool with waves, which it isn't.
And lots of booze.

Well i lived near the beach in Holland for 10 years and we didn't even have life guards. I never heard of someone needing a rescue there (although i'm sure it happened). The water was very calm.
It obviously totally depends on where you live. Bondi beach has very dangerous waters.
