I am known for worrying. I didn't know.
You caught a lucky break! But I think they are mainly in the inlet part, which is where they allow dogs.


We went over there with friends and specifically checked out the dog part of the beach. People had their dogs on long ropes so they could swim out into the water. It wasn't till we got home that I read about the sharks. Glad we didn't have Crosby with us.
