Volusia beaches make 'dangerous' list <\/p>\n
The pristine beaches in Volusia County made a list that may scare some beachgoers. <\/p>\n
The county was ranked No. 6 on the Dangerous Beaches list because of its prevalence for shark attacks. <\/p>\n
The county's beaches have the highest rate of unprovoked shark attacks per square mile than anywhere else in the world. <\/p>\n
\"People are fascinated by sharks. They grab headlines. They grab attention,\" said Tanya Boyd, with the Convention and Visitors Bureau. <\/p>\n
Travel writer Pauline Frommer put the list together, which also includes beaches notorious for crime and pollution. <\/p>\n
Volusia County has had four shark bites this year, which is a slow year. <\/p>\n
\"We just like to say our sharks are small. There have been no fatal attacks,\" said Boyd. \"Our beaches are safe.\" <\/p>\n
The bulk of the bites occur near the Inlet at New Smyrna Beach. <\/p>\n
Surfers like Joey Coppola are the usual victims. Coppola received a foot injury. It was what the experts call \"bump and bites.\"<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
