[quote=Anonymous]Kill the sharks? You've got to be kidding. If you don't want nature, don't drive to the beaches that have more nature around. Go to the crowded spots with the lifeguards. I'm from the Va Beach area and spent some time in NC. Most locals know that you should not go in the water around dusk, or really late in the afternoon, or near dawn, because of the sharks hunting for food--as another PP pointed out. That alone can minimize your problems. As others have pointed out, the shark attacks are on the the southern NC beaches, not the northern ones. Many beaches in NC also don't have lifeguards, lots of riptides, so it's swim at your own risk anyhow. I'm not a strong swimmer so would not go in beyond my knees anyhow no matter what.
