TRURO, Mass. — A no swimming order has been lifted at Head of the Meadow Beach after a confirmed shark sighting forced officials to close the water temporarily late Saturday morning, the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy says.
The order was issued by Cape Cod National Seashore officials, according to an alert from the conservancy's "Sharktivity" app that was sent shortly after 10:45 a.m. Saturday.
Beach-only activities were still permitted during the no swimming order, which has since been lifted.
According to Cape Cod National Seashore officials, sharks have bitten people three times in the waters off Truro and Wellfleet.
One bite in 2018 in the waters off Newcomb Hollow Beach in Wellfleet resulted in the death of 26-year-old Arthur Medici, who lived in Revere. It was the first fatal shark attack off the coast of Massachusetts in more than 80 years.
We carry a 22lr in bear country and hike in tennis shoes. Predators take the crippled. Make sure your not it. 😀
“These beach closures will go on all summer. So this beach closure kicks off the white shark season at the beaches here in Mass.”
