Tom, are there any reports of sharks attacking the beaches facing the Nantucket Sound, or Cape Cod Bay?

I should think the huge tides in the bay would keep the sharks out. And at Yarmouth, Dennis, and Hyannis beaches, the waters are very shallow close to the shore.

Curious.

I am on the Cape Cod Bay side of the Cape. We have plenty of white sharks in our area on the Cape Cod Bay side, but they are harder to see because white sharks are primarily bottom cruisers.

On the Bay side the water is deeper, rockier, and darker, than on the sandy shallow water side of the east facing beaches on the other side of the Cape. Thus it is harder to spot them. But incidences and buoy reports show they are here. People reeling in striped bass have filmed the attacks where the white shark comes right out of the water, and people have run into them when the sharks go to the surface -Tom
