These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

New Smyrna Beach

New Smyrna Beach is a beautiful tourist town in central Florida that usually goes overlooked in the offseasons. With its surfable waves, thriving local restaurant scene, and gorgeous beachfront scenery, New Smyrna Beach sounds like a safe place to spend a holiday with your loved ones. Oh, but we did forget to mention, New Smyrna Beach is the shark attack capital of the world. For some reason, this inlet provides a hospitable environment for sharks to breed and feed, and since the currents around the area are so strong, these aggressive sharks are usually pulled close to the shore to eat. Although this is the case, it’s still highly unlikely that you’ll be attacked by a shark here, or anywhere else for that matter.
