Shark Attack

Author: HelenKay, Category: Beaches, Environment

Not to cause mass hysteria, but…  There was a fatal shark attack north of Fletcher Cove this week.  For those not sure where that is, think North County/Solana Beach.  This is extremely rare, but you should know that beaches in Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas are all closed for now.

 Apparently the sea lions have been beaching themselves in and around the area.  Experts take this to mean there’s a predator (shark) in the water.  San Diego, Carlsbad and Oceanside beaches are all open.  Lifeguards are warning swimmers about the nearby attack, but you can go in…if you want.
