Great White Shark Sighting & “Rip Current Season” On The Great Lakes
Posted by Jody on August 11, 2011
Be careful out there!
Great White Shark Sighting: With almost no one in the water, the sand at Chatham Lighthouse Beach is standing room only! Good luck finding a parking spot near the beach! Chatham Lighthouse Beach, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
“Rip Current Season”, Traverse City, Michigan: Rip current awareness for the “Third Coast” (The Great Lakes shoreline). Rip currents are not just an ocean danger. Education is the key! Check out the NOAA, National Weather Service -Rip Current Safety- page which is loaded with information and a rip current safety video to help keep your time at the beach both safe and fun!
