Recife, Brazil

Beyond the buzzing streets and towering skyscrapers lies the waters around the Brazilian city of Recife, known for the greatest number of shark attacks in the country.

59 people have been attacked here since 1992. Prior to that, there were next to no attacks. Like Reunion Island, surfing is now banned as many blamed surfers as the cause of increased shark activity (the cheek!)

In fact, many believe it to be the building of the nearby Suape Port that diverted bull sharks into the beach region where surfers and swimmers hang out.
