On Sunday, July 11, the Trustees of Reservations had a possible shark sighting off of Norton Point. Lifeguard Lizzie Williamson told The Times that the South Beach lifeguards closed the water at 1:30 pm in an attempt to confirm the sighting. Both the on-land guards and biplanes from Katama Airfield were unable to confirm the presence of a shark, so the beach was reopened at 3 pm.
Brian Usher, a member of the park patrol, told the Times that sometimes beach-goers mistake animals such as seals or sunfish as sharks.
The lifeguards will continue to closely monitor the water for potential danger to swimmers.
Horrors! A shark in the ocean?! Seriously?!
Off Norton Point?
What moron goes swimming off of Norton Point?
We’re surrounded. Maybe we ought to surrender!

Gee Skip…have you ever heard that it’s better to be safe than sorry?

Skiff Island is heavy with seals GWS aren’t far away.
