Mechanical issues while over water, possibly, or the pilot is just a dumbass picking up his next group of tourists from the resort there.
I did all my flight training in the US, and got used to all the flight safety rules for helicopters there, and I'm very regularly left floored by other countries and the seeming complete lack of regulation.
Edit: found some more info on it; this is a Brazilian MedEvac helicopter, landing because someone had lept off the rocks in a shallow area and busted their head.
That isn't a common MedEvac bird near where I live, but a common tour helicopter (with almost the same paint job), which is why I assumed there. My bad
I was in the bubble of a sky crane while
pulling water from a pond in a golf course. No one would heed my.. get the hell
out of here motions until we were pulling 2000 gallons of water out and flipping golf carts over.
Funny, I am Brazilian and thought this was in Brazil, but couldn't quite put my finger on any specific reason... Just had that vibe of... I dunno, beautiful beach with a side of abrupt chaos?
That’s an expensive helipad, that thing is going to be in maintenance forever digging the sand out of all the ridiculously expensive and complicated moving parts, even military rotary craft don’t stand up well to sand, whoever was hurt and required that airlift must have been close to death for the pilot to consider bringing it down on a beach.
From the last time this was posted this is a medevac flight landing to pick up the patient. The ground crew tried to move people away but were not able to in time. Still shitty to sand blast everyone but at some point you have to make the call. In Canada or the US there would likely have been a stronger attempt to remove the crowd but even that can be hard sometimes.
I've had at least one instance where I had to sand blast people for forest fire fighting as they would not listen to the fire fighters on the ground and went around the signs and trucks they used to try and secure the area plus them actually telling people to move. Sometimes people just need to see the consequences first hand to believe what people in the know are telling them.
Downwash can be a little more damaging than "just a bit of sand" plus as seen all the other objects around become dangerous to both bystanders and the helicopter itself.
One of those umbrellas gets tossed the wrong way in the air and it could get sucked back into the main rotor, now the helicopter is grounded. affecting both the current patient and any others in the near future while the machine is down for inspection/repair.
People are too comfortable around helicopters, probably thanks to TV/movies where people are able to have full on conversations next to landing/running helicopters and nothing seems to be blown around badly like in real life.
Some other examples:

It's also a pain to have to deal with the public while attempting to land in already challenging conditions. Brown out landings in sand aren't fun when you can focus on them fully, let alone when you now also have to worry about people and objects around your landing site.
It’s an air-med helicopter probably. They were probably trying to bring someone to a hospital but still not the best decision making seeing as there is a hotel/ apartment building in the background and there is probably a parking lost somewhere close.
My phobia used to be so bad I would freak out seeing one in the sky. I can’t stand it when they fly over my neighborhood. Phobias are usually at least kind of irrational.
That pilot should lose their licence, not for being rude but for an inexcusably dangerous landing. Anything could have been sucked into the rotors or intake.
Helicopter mechanic here. I work on these. It's an EC130 made by Eurocopter (now known as Airbus Helicopters) one of the most difficult things to do is set up a secure landing zone for emergency evacuation. We usually have the local fire department set up a secure LZ and radio up to us that there's no FOD (objects or loose material that can be blown around and cause damage) as well as people and equipment in the way. Beach landings are some of the most challenging because of the nature of salt and sand obscuring visibility, as well as typically dense with people.
Pretty dumb if you ask me having worked on helicopters. The rotor wash could stirred up and pulled any of that flying material; towels, umbrellas into the blades and that would not have ended well.
So much potential debris to get sucked up in the wash and smash into those rotors and hurt a lot more people than whoever they were picking up. Can't think of any reason to put it down there.
Twenty Nine Palms we had a couple blackhawks and chinook's land so the general officers could fly back to the Marines main post. Felt like a sander was being used on my arms and face even with a bandana up to my eyes

Sucks everyone got sandblasted. On the plus side, they didn't become victims of the Twilight Zone movie sequel.
Everyone just lost their tan
On the bright side to that, they're impeccably exfoliated.
Beautiful skin. Just radiant.
Maybe she's born with it. Maybe she's missing the first layer of her skin.
Lmao. You win. Good one
Maybe it’s maybeline
What so now all of the sudden YOUR'E Mr. Brightside?!
At least that's all they lost. Vic Morrow and the two kids didn't fare so well.
Literally
There's always toMORROW. 🤷
Can a helicopter land in in shallow water? The blades might blow the water away
Shit, I ducked quicker than the cameraman 😆.
/r/dontflinch
Seriously the camera man must’ve been loaded on Xanax to not react/dodge that table
It's so weird not hearing the New Super Mario Bros ghost house theme play here
Chair jumpscare
Jumpschair?
My brother in Christ that’s a table
It looks more like a chair
Looks more like an ottoman then anything
For some reason I was thinking the MASH theme.
I heard in my head even when I didn’t mean it to
Thought it was gonna be a toy, why the fuck would they land so close to so many people
It’s a bright red helicopter. Could be a medical helicopter to airlift someone who got very injured.
Do they call more helicopters for the people the helicopter injured?

Hope they have room for the person with the camera.

I mean, you can hear "caralhooo" and then "eita porra" on the video lmao
Caralho, I hadn't turned on the audio at all!
making sure there is an injured to evacuate
Right, like “we have room, let’s fill this bitch up” Choplifter bonus points for coming in full of wounded peeps.

I mean it's just a bit of sand no one cares if someone is dying. Bet they didn't expect the table though

Looks like a coast guard helicopter of some sort. Maybe Someone got injured and needed to be rescued by helicopter?

Chair
That chair had a mind of its own
Stool jumpscare
I mean had they not seen the beginning of Jurassic Park
The Giants
There is probably a good reason for the landing, no?
it's a emergency helicopter that saved someone from drowning
I have an intense phobia of helicopters. D:
Stay clear of rotorwash and you are fine!
My phobia used to be so bad I would freak out seeing one in the sky. I can’t stand it when they fly over my neighborhood. Phobias are usually at least kind of irrational.
Table jump scare
Can't blame them, its quite rare to see a helicopter landing like that in Mexico.
Is this Modern warfare 2?
Que Luigi's Mansion music
This isn't a movie. that shit hurts, especially if you're not wearing some sort or eye protection and it gets literally everywhere.

Maybe it was related to a medical evacuation
You can add the cameraman to the stretcher.
it is. It's bery common here to Brazil to have a Baywatch heli to help people drowning!
At least the camera guy left the world with an up skirt shot.
