Practice Shark Safety

We remind beach goers to practice shark safety at all beaches:

  • Don't swim where seals are present.
  • Don't swim too far from shore.
  • Swim in groups.
  • Avoid wearing shiny jewelry or other accessories (which look like fish scales to sharks).
  • Avoid cloudy water (sharks could mistake you for prey).
  • Avoid surfing alone.
  • Avoid areas with signs of baitfish or fish feeding activity - watch for diving seabirds.
  • Be aware that sharks may be present between sandbars or near steep drop offs.
