Central Florida Beach Number 1 For Sharks Biting Humans

If you visit Central Florida beaches will you be worried about sharks in the water?

By no means am I telling you to freak out and change your travel plans, but a Central Florida beach just earned the top spot on a list out of all the beaches in the world where swimmers are most frequently bitten by sharks!

According to the website Travel Lens, New Smyrna Beach ranks No. 1 for swimmers getting bitten by sharks. Analysts looked at data from 2010. Since 2010, there have been 32 instances of sharks biting humans in the waters off New Smyrna Beach.

When I think of places where you might find shark attacks, I think of Hawaii and Australia and the coast of California. I know it happens in water surrounding Florida, but I didn’t realize it was this frequent.

We went a couple of weeks ago, and it was incredible. When you check in at the Grand Hyatt, you'll see an aquarium built into the wall behind the desk. Speaking of aquariums...I saw one of the coolest things I've ever seen at a resort. They have numerous pools at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. One of them has a really cool bar you can swim right up to. But my favorite pool is the one that has a cave and grotto and you swim right up to a SEA AQUARIUM with SHARKS! It's amazing! And when you are chilling at the pool, you can enjoy a drink at the Drift Bar. They have yummy spicy margaritas.

The Baha Bay Waterpark is my favorite water park. They have the best lazy river and so many exciting water slides. It's included in your stay at the resort.

They have so many fantastic restaurants like Katsuya for Sushi, Carne for steaks, and Costa at Rosewood is their premiere traditional Mexican restaurant. The restaurant has the BEST ambiance. And it's surrounded by a koi pond. So cool!

The beaches are so pristine. I have to bring this up. Have you ever thought about the fact that we all FROLIC on the beach, yet no one ever plans to frolic? No one ever says, "Hey, honey. Want to go frolic on the beach with me?" But anytime anyone is photographed in the water or on the beach it's captioned "So and so was seen frolicking on the beach." It's so weird. It's something no one ever plans to do...no one ever says they're going to do it, but we all do it. And if it's captured on video it is referred to as frolicking. In any case, I did some frolicking on the beach.
