8New Smyrna Beach – Florida

Surfers who flock to the Atlantic coast of Florida for the epic swells do so at their own risk. This beach is one of the world’s most dangerous due to its shark-infested waters – Florida has an average of 29 shark bites per year, and in 2017, nine of those attacks occurred along this section of coast.

Shark attacks have been less frequent of late, but New Smyrna Beach still remains one of the scariest beaches in the world.
