California Travel Tips
Shark-Free Festivals Launch California Summer
Published on: May 30, 2016
A swimmer attacked and injured, most likely by a shark, on Memorial Weekend in Corona del Mar resulted in local beach closures. Shark attacks are rare — millions of visitors enter the Pacific Ocean in California each summer weekend taking home nothing more than annoying sunburns and sand in their shoes. If you’re brave enough to overcome your fears swim with leopard sharks in San Diego!
