If you live in Rhode Island you are never more than thirty-five mins.from the sea shore. I loved swimming in the waves and even taking a nighttime dip ,then I read JAWS!Hi @kev mac
No, i dont live by the ocean, unfortunately
I live in Johannesburg, which is inland
That photo was taken in Cape Town, where I am visiting for a quick business trip
I love the ocean though and there is something very special for me when I just sit for a few minutes near the ocean side. I try do that whenever i go to an ocean city.
As for sharks, I am no expert but I do know that the South African waters host some ginormous sharks. In once visited the Sharks Board in Umhlanga for a whole discussion about sharks and it was quite scary. In my youth I spent many a holiday at Amanzimtoti and loved swimming in the sea for hours and hours. I believe there have been many shark attacks there.
