Great white sharks spotted near Monterey Bay coast

Authorities have issued an urgent warning for beachgoers to avoid water activities at Lovers Point Beach in Pacific Grove, California, following reports of shark activity. The Pacific Grove Police Department advised swimmers and surfers to stay out of the water as a precaution after a seal was reportedly bitten in the area, leaving blood in the water.

This warning follows recent sightings near Marina, where drone footage from Sanctuary Cruises captured five great white sharks, including an adult female estimated to be over 14 feet long, swimming approximately 200 yards off the coast near Sanctuary Beach Resort.
