    Florida is famously known for its beaches, and, truth be told, the state is home to 9 out of 10 cities with the most shark attacks since 1642. While New Smyrna Beach – and neighboring Daytona top that list of over 350 years, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission states you shouldn’t be worried about a shark attack. Stay alert to any warnings or announcements, and here are some shark pointers to keep in mind when hitting the Florida waves:

    • Stay in groups and don’t wander too far from shore
    • Avoid swimming at dawn or dusk or in areas with a lot of fishing
    • Limit splashing and don’t make sudden or erratic movements
    • Don’t wear shiny jewelry or enter the ocean if you have an open cut (or are bleeding at all)
    • Build sandcastles and sunbathe on land.
