Sharks do not attack on shore. Near the shore, yes. But they cannot get you while on shore, out of the water.

"Most attacks occur in nearshore waters, typically inshore of a sandbar or between sandbars where sharks feed and can become trapped at low tide. Areas with steep dropoffs are also likely attack sites. Sharks congregate there because their natural food items also congregate in these areas. "

The sited source has a ton on info about shark attacks. Hope it helps. =)

Yes some sharks can move around in 3 feet of water, which would put them pretty close to shore.

Just remember that you are more likely to be struck by lightening then be attacked by a shark. :)

when sharks attack they don't come to shore. usually when they attack, its in deep water because that is where their prey normally lives

Yes. I saw a vid once of a great white chasing a seal onto a shore - he got his prey.

If a shark wants something and can get there without becoming stuck it is there.

Yes, they catch young seals like that, as do killer whales.
