A recent study identified New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County, Florida as the most dangerous beach in the U.S., based on shark attacks, surf zone fatalities, and hurricanes.
Tideschart's rankings revealed that all 10 of the most dangerous beaches in the country are located in Florida, with New Smyrna Beach leading the list.
New Smyrna Beach scored highest due to its significant number of shark attacks, with 277 recorded incidents, making it the 'shark bite capital of the world.'
Despite being a popular tourist destination, Florida's beaches, including New Smyrna Beach, pose risks with shark encounters, surf fatalities, and hurricane threats.
