California has very few shark attacks — just two recorded in 2023, fewer than New York and the Carolinas. The eastern coast from Virginia to New York doesn’t see many shark attacks, despite having many popular beach towns. Long Island in New York is, roughly speaking, the northern border of the bull and tiger shark ranges. Tiger Shark A 3D illustration of a Tiger Shark. Kentucky managed to rack up 12 shark attacks in 2006 after the aquarium in Newport opened a shark petting exhibit.

I dreamed of overwater bungalows in places like the Maldives but dreaded the long flight there. And I believed the best place to create that experience would be in an overwater bungalow — the epitome of a luxury tropical vacation. Levente Bodo/Getty ImagesThere's a reason overwater bungalows aren't as popular in the CaribbeanOverwater bungalow resorts are more than 55 years old. And Ra'iātea's calm waters made it the ideal place for an overwater bungalow, Kelley said. My first overwater bungalow stay reminded me I don't need to hop on an all-day flight to experience the accommodation.

"We were looking for an adventure of some sort, a pirate adventure, and Puerto Rico was perfect." AdvertisementThe lure of Puerto Rico comes with some strict guidelinesFor Lindsey and Flynn, an incentive to move to Puerto Rico was the territory's tax incentive Act 60. AdvertisementThe catch is that to take advantage of these perks, you must be what Puerto Rico calls a "bonafide" resident. For example, if you are a mediocre golfer from outside Puerto Rico and are looking for similar people in Puerto Rico, there is a WhatsApp group for that. If you moved to Puerto Rico for tax incentives and want to share your experiences, contact this reporter at cgaines@businessinsider.com.

Because Carbrook in Queensland boasted a membership unlike any other golf club on the planet: six resident bull sharks. A new corridor was opened and – sometime during those three temporary windows – six bull sharks glided into uncharted waters. Carbrook Golf Club Shark in the LakeMedia interest boomed, and the club embraced its toothy tenants with vigor. Their extended residence, he argued, sheds new light on just how adaptable bull sharks are. A stay of at least 17 years in low-salinity waters — more than half a bull shark’s lifespan — was unprecedented.

Dave Pearson survived a shark attack, but faced vitriol online for it afterwards. His isolation led him to found a support group for shark attack survivors, called Bite Club.

But the gray nurse shark (also known as the sand tiger shark and the spotted ragged-tooth shark) is under threat. As well as gray nurse sharks, whales, stingrays, grouper fish and many more marine species can be seen there. This has helped to raise awareness of the fragility of both the area and gray nurse sharks, says Leesfield. Gray nurse shark numbers have declined in recent years, leading to the species being listed critically endangered. Faehrmann explains that Fish Rock is a critical breeding ground for gray nurse sharks.
