It wasn’t when I noticed the gray hair leaching into the corners of my beard or when I discovered my mid-length was getting dinged up while my shortboards gathered dust. This totally un-radical realization didn’t slap me in the face like a set wave; instead it rolled along slowly, gathering speed until it dumped me over the falls and into a sea of joint pain and CBD joints.

Nothing ruins a relaxing day at the beach faster than hearing the word "shark" enter the conversation. However, the reality is that every time you step a toe in the ocean, you're entering the shark's domain, and the possibility of encountering one of them is present. In 2023, the amount of unprovoked attacks saw a slight uptick, with the number of deaths from shark bites doubling compared to 2022, according to The University of Florida's International Shark Attack File (ISAF). "This is within the range of the normal number of bites, though the fatalities are a bit unnerving this year," explained Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Museum of Natural History's shark research program.

Many people consider Hawaii a bucket list destination thanks to its idyllic ocean access, unique culture, and lush rainforests. But danger can hide behind all the beauty, especially when it comes to Hawaii's infamously perilous beaches, such as Hanakapi'ai on Kauai's Nā Pali Coast. The rugged destination only exists as a beach during the summer. In the winter, the waves and high tides obliterate the sand, with the water crashing directly on the rocks. While you can't visit during that part of the year, summer can still be treacherous.

If you’ve been on the internet in the last few years, you’ve likely ran into a story or two about the possible existence of “cocaine sharks.” Most of them were just theories, but with the amount of cocaine that’s lost every year in the ocean, it’s not impossible that a shark or two has, in fact, made a meal out of a bale of Columbian marching powder. And as it turns out, a team of scientists found that some sharks living in the coastal waters of Brazil are indeed cocaine sharks.
