It should be noted that shark attacks on humans are relatively rare and uncommon.

The reason many of these top 10 shark infested beaches are so popular amongst sharks is because they are also popular among smaller fish - making them a great place for sharks to live since the supply of food is excellent.

Florida An amateur photographer captured by chance an image of a 6ft blacktip "spinner" shark leaping from the waves as he took pictures of fellow surfers.
Kem McNair, who had finished surfing at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, before taking three images of the shark, shot in under a second, said: "I saw something in the background and I thought, 'What was that?'. I looked back at the display on my camera and there it was - a spinner shark."

I fear sharks, just watching shark-attack movies make me nervous. Thanks for the piece.

This is interesting info. I would like to see a report of the beaches with the most shark attacks and see if that matches this list.
You're missing one. Last time I went to Myrtle Beach, there were plenty of Land Sharks. Looked like an SNL convention, only less funny and more more terrorizing. I may or may not have been sober at the time. But I know what I saw.
Suddenly, I am finding an increased appreciation for the Great Lakes. ;-)
I will stay away from those beaches- Thanks!
Great article very neat!
Sharks in South Africa, namely Gansbaai and Kosi Baai are the biggest draw to the area. This is where your can put your mental brawn to the test by going inside the cage into shark-infested waters. That's on the agenda on our next visit to S.A.! Thanks for sharing your list!
