They concentrate in few areas, genius. Sharks are not OMNIPRESENT like you like wish to believe they are.

And if this isn’t enough, use a google map satellite view of the Cape and Nantucket and then scroll in to the closest view. The thousands of sprinkle like black specs you see are seals. Those tens of thousands of seals support hundreds to perhaps 1000 great whites.

Mostly in Chatham because (wait for it) that is where the sharks are, WHEN/IF there are sharks.

There were 8 great whites spotted yesterday spanning from Maguire Landing Beach down to Monomoy. Amazingly there was also one spotted off of the coast near Dennis! 1000 animals need space to hunt so they are going to spread out as the arrive.

Exactly - and if you had ever been to the Cape, you would know that Welfleet and Chatham are where the sharks are because of.......(wait for it) ...........SEALS.


Boy OP, such a troll fail. You really are an idiot. Keep talking.

Not sure who you are talking to but IF YOU REALLY knew the Cape you would know that there are even more seals in MONOMOY. Get off the computer and go familiarize yourself with the place you claim to know so well.

Way too expensive. (10K for a small house in Chatham)
Beautiful.
Water too cold to swim in.
Snooty. My snootiest Aunt goes every year. Preppy heaven.
Too far from DC for me to visit regularly.

What do you think about Cape Cod?

Here now, hunkered down in my home, loving life. People are friendly and kind. I love it here.

Bonus points if you can easily find a small two-bedroom house within a couple hundred feet from the water for less than $2500/week.

I hate driving to the Cape and would prefer to go somewhere closer. We just don't know of another place like this.

This is my question too. I have no particular attachment to going to the Cape specifically but where else can you get that, that’s any closer to DC?

I grew up in Hingham and have never see this before. It also is not near the cape and I have heard nothing of this and I am here on the Cape now.

It also covers up to Canada, and down the Atlantic Seaboard. The Gulf of Maine has become a hotspot of activity, too.

Very cool. My kids love sharks.

I have had the app for a couple of years. It’s amazing how covered the area is - from the Elizabeth Islands to Nova Scotia - by the end of September. Hundreds of pings and sightings.
