Are you safe from sharks in Daytona Florida waters 4 feet deep?

While there have been rare instances of shark encounters in shallow waters, swimming in 4 feet deep water may not completely insulate you from potential interactions with sharks. Sharks are known to enter shallow waters occasionally, especially if they are following their prey or seeking food.

For your safety, it is generally advisable to follow beach safety guidelines and regulations, be aware of any shark alerts or warnings issued by local authorities, swim in designated swimming areas, and avoid swimming at dusk or dawn when sharks are known to be more active. If you see a shark or any potentially dangerous marine life, remain calm, and slowly and smoothly exit the water.
