Which Beach is the Most Dangerous in America?

America's deadliest beach is a scenic sandy escape located along the eastern coast of Central Florida. New Smyrna Beach beat out nine other Florida beaches to earn the dubious distinction, with researchers at California-based Simmrin Law concluding their findings utilizing three main factors: hurricanes, surf zone fatalities, and shark attacks.

Officials in New Smyrna recently recorded nearly 400 beach rescues due to high rip currents and crowds. An NSB Alert Center informs beachgoers of dangers.
