Florida is the U.S. state where most shark attacks occur—indeed, it has the highest incidence of attacks in the world.
New Smyrna Beach—located on Florida's central east coast—is considered to be the"shark attack capital of the world," according to the International Shark Attack File .that anyone who has entered the water in this area has likely come within 10 feet of a shark.

Florida is the U.S. state where most shark attacks occur—indeed, it has the highest incidence of attacks in the world—although it should be noted that the number of bites dropped there last year.
A minority of incidents are considered to be"provoked," meaning a human may have encouraged the attack in some way, by fishing or touching the shark, for example. Most cases involve the sharks taking a single, non-fatal bite before swimming away.
