Summer is officially over. But with triple-digit temperatures, we decided to escape the heat for a final beach trip last weekend... our favorite Santa Cruz spot.
Perfecting the art of sandcrab-catching.
Is there any better feeling than being buried in warm sand?
A group of dolphins hung out just a few yards away from us the whole day, and a few sea lions were riding the waves, too. I told the kids that because of all the "nice" sea animals swimming around, there were likely no sharks in the area. I even spent a lot of time actually swimming in the ocean- like under water.And then we got home and read this.

SCARY!!! Glad you got to enjoy your day, though.
CRAZY!!!! As much as I love sharks I wouldn't want to be swimming with great whites! Glad you guys had fun and were safe, though!
YIKES!! That is exactly why I don't swim in the CA oceans! At least you had a fun day. :)
We live in a waterfront community BUT we don't have sharks! THAT IS FREAKY!! Kinda gives you the chills :}
freaky!
Aww, how fun! Can't believe I didn't get a chance to go to Santa Cruz this summer.
EEEKKKKKK!!!!! My biggest fear.....sharks! JAWS forever changed my life!!! I barely go up to my ankles in water. And I tried to "overcome" my fear and became a certified Scuba Diver and took my open water test/dive in S. Cal. south of Catalina. A VERY long story, but a few days after the dive - a great white was spotted!!!
Never dove again!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stay out of the water, please....
It was scary to hear the shark was there the same time we were, but I do love dolphins, so it was so cool to see them!!!
I love Santa Cruz, and lived in Capitola for a while but I didn't know there were sightings of sharks there. Yikes. Glad you had a safe trip!
