BEACH ALERT

Posted on: September 5, 2014 - 12:30pm

TOWN OF SCITUATE BEACH ADVISORY 1
SEPTEMBER 5, 2014
On Thursday evening, September 4 the Scituate Harbormaster’s Office received a call of a shark taking a seal approximately 400 yards off the Third Cliff/Peggotty Beach area. THIS SIGHTING HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED AS A GREAT WHITE SHARK, but given recent activity in the area the Town is exercising an abundance of caution and notifying beach patrons. There have been no further sightings at this time.
We are strongly advising that people using beaches do so with awareness and caution. Beach patrons choosing to swim do so at their own risk. If you choose to enter the water, do so cautiously and avoid going into the water beyond waist depth. Please be advised that Scituate lifeguarding of beaches ended September 1. Public Safety personnel are aware of the situation and have taken all necessary precautions including expanding our presence on both land and water with increased patrols.
This information will be updated if conditions change or new information becomes available.
