You might’ve seen it on the news…but thanks to an El Niño this year, it’s shaping up to be a sharky summer here in SoCal 🦈🌊

Warmer water temperatures can bring sharks closer to shore…and a few other unexpected ocean visitors too.

Stay tuned and follow along all summer long for beach safety tips, shark updates, and everything you need to know before heading into the water.

Stay tuned for more Jaw-some reels coming your way 🙌

El Niño 🤝 stingrays. Expect lots of stingrays at the beach this summer…and plenty of snacks for white sharks. Be sure to do the shuffle! 🌊
