Volusia County - Florida

Florida is a hugely popular destination for tourists looking for a beach vacation, but you might want to stick with Orlando next time you plan a trip. In fact, you need to just avoid Volusia County altogether. The beaches in this area are teeming with sharks, and it seems as though shark attacks are incredibly common in this area. Since 1982, there have been almost 300 shark attacks! Thankfully, none of them have been fatal.

But what makes this place even more intense is that the beaches around this county are prone to thunderstorms. Because of this, your chance of getting struck by lightning on this beach is pretty high.
