Inside ‘shark bite capital of world’ where bloodthirsty beasts shred limbs & savage swimmers
New Smyrna Beach is a seemingly idyllic paradise known for its pristine sands and perfect surf, but beneath the waves lurks a darker reality.Drone footage shows the moment dozens of sharks swarm New Smyrna Beach - known as the 'shark bite capital of world'Here, where thrill-seekers flock for a taste of the ocean, bloodthirsty predators lurk just out of sight, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
The surf destination claims the ominous accolade, with five shark attacks recorded last year, according to International Shark Attack Figures.One targeted a 26-year-old male who was wading through five feet of water, while the other targeted a 21-year-old who was playing American football in knee-deep water.
Although the beach is a picturesque location on the Atlantic Ocean, it is also dangerously with hurricanes and rip currents. The evolutionary biologist clarified that there is a 40ft-deep dredge in the Ponce Inlet outflow, which enters the Atlantic directly north of New Smyrna Beach.“As it curves down, it mixes with the other current, and there is a really great surf break."
“Fortunately, most of the sharks in that area are highly piscivorous sharks, such as blacktips and spinners,” Dr Naylor said. The warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean along New Smyrna Beach are home to an abundant array of marine life, which includes fish, rays, and other sea creatures that sharks feed on.New Smyrna Beach is a popular destination for surfers due to its consistent waves.
