It is understandable that there is danger in the middle of the sea. But can there be danger on the seashore? Can any beach be given the title of the most dangerous beach? Yes, a beach in America is called the most dangerous or the most deadly beach there. This is because a large number of people are dying at this beautiful place. Natural dangers remain here. Still people do not stop coming here, due to which their safety becomes a cause of concern.
Despite the beauty and sandy appearance of this popular beach on the east coast of Central Florida, its shores and oceans have seen an alarming number of human deaths from a variety of causes. New Smyrna Beach has seen a record number of fatalities, from storms to shark attacks to people having difficulty surfing.
It topped nine other Florida beaches on the list of ‘deadliest’ beaches, earning it the unpopular title. Earlier this month, officials in New Smyrna recorded a staggering 400 beach rescues. Strong currents and crowds meant that this number happened in just a few days.

The beach, known as the “shark bite capital” of the world, has seen three attacks since July 3. However, according to Simrin Law, a total of 185 shark attacks have been recorded here. Still, the biggest damage to the beach is caused by its storms. Lawyer Michael Simrin explained why Florida is in the top ten most dangerous beaches. According to him, “Shark attacks often make headlines.”
But Florida’s beaches rank so highly because of the ever-present risk of hurricanes. Hurricanes create dangerous waves, which put beachgoers at even greater risk. With summer approaching and vacations on the minds of many Americans, this study highlights the importance of putting safety first when considering a beach trip.
