The great whites should be not too far off the beach . Those beautiful seals are yummy fat balls to sharks.

Pretty sure the sharks migrate to water that’s near 70f or warmer. So by the time the water is that warm, the seals are long gone north.

I hope….

Ever been to the beach in Maine? Water is like 55 in mid summer and they are seeing increased shark activity as seal population increases

Do sharks make it into the bay or is that water too fresh?

Lots of beached whales on the news too. Seems like there's a new one every other day.

Dead whales on the beach is different than beached whales. Beached whales strand themselves while alive... which may die eventually. Its grim. I know. Just clarifying.

Is it safe to kayak the bay in the summer?

Shark attacks are super rare. Be careful and avoid areas with seals hanging out.
