Yes, the Great White Shark does make rare appearances, especially around the Strait of Gibraltar. But here’s the secret: they are not wandering the beaches waiting for tourists. They’re deep-water travelers, and attacks are incredibly rare. In fact, you’re more likely to get struck by lightning while holding a winning lottery ticket.
The Tiger Shark has also been spotted near the eastern Med, but again, these are open-ocean visitors. They’re not interested in your tan lines or your beach towel. They’re busy being the garbage disposals of the sea—eating anything, but usually staying far from shore.
