At No. 5, <strong> Myrtle Beach </strong> eared an overall danger score of 6.61 out of 10, compared to the most dangerous beach on the list which scored 8.14. The score was determined when looking at a number of factors, such as how many surf zone fatalities since 2010 (15), the number of shark attacks since 2010 (9) and the number of hurricanes between 1851 and 2020 (31). </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> Here are the deadliest beaches, according to the site: </p><ol><li> New Smyrna Beach, Florida </li><li> Cocoa Beach, Florida </li><li> Ormond Beach, Florida </li><li> Panama City Beach, Florida </li><li> Myrtle Beach, South Carolina </li><li> Melbourne Beach, Florida </li><li> Jacksonville Beach, Florida </li><li> Oak Island, North Carolina </li><li> Gulf Shores, Alabama </li><li> Fort Lauderdale, Florida </li></ol><p> Check out <a href="https://www.travellens.co/americas-deadliest-beaches/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em> Travel Lens </em></a> ' full list to read up on the deadliest beaches in the country. </p></div></body>
