Michelle York+FollowShark Bites: What’s Really Going On?Shark bites in South Carolina and Florida have everyone buzzing—two people bitten on Hilton Head in one week, and a 9-year-old girl in Florida nearly lost her hand while snorkeling! But here’s the wild part: experts say shark attacks are still super rare (you’re more likely to get struck by lightning). If you’re hitting the beach, remember: swim in groups, avoid shiny stuff, and stick to lifeguard zones. Sharks are out there, but attacks? Not as common as you think! #SharkBite #BeachSafety #HiltonHead #Science111Share
Charles Coleman+FollowRip Currents: The Real Beach DangerSharks aren’t the real threat at the beach—rip currents are! Over 100 people die each year in the U.S. from these sneaky currents, and most victims aren’t even locals. Here’s the trick: if you get caught, don’t fight it. Float with the current until you’re past the waves, then swim sideways to escape. And always check those beach warning flags! Lifeguards and a boogie board can literally save your life. Stay safe out there! #BeachSafety #RipCurrent #SummerTips #StaySafe #WaterSafety #Spirituality60Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowGiant Shark Spotted Near Vacation Beaches!A massive 14-foot great white shark named 'Contender' is making waves—literally—after swimming nearly 1,900 miles toward popular summer beaches. Scientists say he’s the biggest male they’ve ever tagged in the Atlantic, and while it’s rare for him to hit a crowded beach, it’s not impossible. If you’re hitting the ocean this summer, maybe double-check the shark tracker app before you dive in! #SharkAlert #BeachSafety #GreatWhite #Pets30Share

A woman in Japan almost brought home a deadly surprise after picking up a beautiful shell—only to realize it was home to a venomous cone snail.

Sometimes the coolest finds are best admired from a distance. #BeachSafety #TravelTips #WildlifeWarning #News7317Share

Florida’s already seen record cases and deaths this year, and thanks to warming oceans, it’s spreading to new spots. The scariest part?
