Another Shark Sighting at Stinson Beach… No Swimming This Weekend!

Another shark sighting will keep people out of the waters at Stinson Beach through at least Labor Day.

Last weekend, a surfer spotted an 8 to 10 ft shark — possibly a great white — about 125 yards offshore. Then another shark was sighted Thursday evening around 6:30pm.

Sightings typically prompt an automatic three-day water closing, as sharks generally spend several days feeding in an area.

Officials originally said the waters of Stinson Beach would remain off-limits until Friday, but now they’ve extended the closure through the holiday weekend.

If there are no more sightings over the weekend, the beach will be re-opened Tuesday morning.
