The number of shark attacks across the globe soared last year, a new report shows.

Beachgoers and tourists were mauled 105 times in 2025, up from 88 the year before, according to the International Shark Attack File.

The data – from the Florida Museum of Natural History – reveals the hotspots where the apex predators are most likely to strike, which includes some British holiday favourites like Fuerteventura.
