Fantasy about your next beach vacation? Before packing your Flip-Flops and sunscreen, it's worth a closer look at the potential risks. Although most beaches in America are generally safe, the ocean is a strong force that deserves respect. RIP current, unpredictable surfing conditions and marine life can be serious danger to undoubted visitors.
To warn passengers to the most riothest places, researchers on TideThe tide forecast website analyzed 528 beaches across the country to identify the most dangerous US beaches.
The study of the beach ranked three factors: surf in the death zone, seizures of sharks and hurricanes, assigning each beach with a total safety result of 100.
Shocking, the most dangerous US beaches were in one state – Florida.
“While shark attacks often dominate the titles, the real danger on the beaches in Florida stems from the constantly present of the hurricane,” said Ryan Blundell, founder of Tideschart, “Hurricanes cause strong currents and storms, which significantly raises the risk of beaches.”
