Good morning. We saw about five sharks swimming next to the shore this morning, as did other people in this area so I figured I'd pass it on.

Not abnormal for the area. Chances are slim anything would happen, but avoidance never hurts.

Sadly, we didn't have a camera with us. We saw them again after we posted this morning, as did other people near us. Also saw some dolphins just about every day this week, and my daughter's boyfriend had them jump around his yolo board twice. Also saw a turtle and sting ray. The ocean has been busy!

Of course they arrive when all the tourists leave

I am sure they like fewer tourist too.. less legs to bump into during their evening dinner cruise....:sharkfin:

Am I alone in that I worry less about sharks in the water and more about stepping on crabs and sting rays?

It's late August/Early September. The sharks are following the mullet as they begin their migration. Happens every year, typically picks up after the last full moon in August.

@Seasidedent - Sadly, last March I was more worried about stepping on trash than anything else. Lots of red solo cups and many of them were encrusted with sea life, so the'd been there a while. I wonder if we are seeing the trash from PCB or Destin being distributed on our beaches? Sad regardless...

I would share my video but I had a moment of potty mouth

I saw a banner plane flying over today that said "AYCE Tasty Tourists, Seacrest & Seaside, Labor Day Weekend!"
