Volusia County is located in Northeast Central Florida. It is known as the “Shark Bite Capital of the World.” However, to date there have been no fatal shark bites in the county and most occur near the Ponce de Leon Inlet. Juvenile Black Tip and Spinner sharks cause the majority of shark bites in Volusia County and these sharks prefer this area due to the abundance of baitfish.
