Sharks on the beach in Jeffreys Bay?

One question that arises many probably, is whether there are sharks and whether it is dangerous, therefore, in Jeffreys Bay to swim.

Times in general: Worldwide 2011 only 12 people have been injured by sharks deadly. People there have been attacks on 2011 75 Total Basically gehörzt South Africa can also be counted among the regions in which to shark attacks. However, the question really is, how likely is it that a shark attack in this world already low numbers of all one should take themselves.
Shark attacks can occur practically all over the world, however, focus mainly on a few specific beaches and coastal areas. The attack focuses worldwide are probably call: the east coast of Australia, Amanzimtoti in South Africa (which is close to Durban and is therefore NOT Jeffreys Bay!), The California coast of the United States and as a leader, the coast of Florida in the U.S. South.

Jeffreys Bay is a surfer hotspot but certainly not a shark hotspot:

A little knowledge about sharks and shark accidents:

Reporting of shark accidents is often more lurid than the reality:

The top 10 of the most dangerous shark species:

I can exclude the risk of Haiunfalls not – as well. I can only say that I have in the last 10 years seen a single shark in Jeffreys BAy – that is subjective. Moreover, swimming is on the beach in Jeffreys Bay, but mostly due to the more powerful waves more of a splash and play with the water and the surf near the beach, so quickly at a auftauchendem Hai secure country can be achieved.
