Shark Bites in Florida Panhandle

Two recent shark bites in Florida’s Panhandle have sparked concern, but experts say these rare incidents don’t change the big picture—shark attacks are statistically extremely unlikely. With fewer than one bite per year in Pensacola and global unprovoked bites numbering just 65 in 2025, Florida’s risk remains low compared to car accidents or lightning. Officials advise swimming in groups, avoiding dawn/dusk hours, keeping wounds covered, and leaving shiny jewelry behind—simple steps to stay safe while enjoying the ocean.
