I don't know what places, dude. Sharks are very weird about laying their young! For that matter, we know little about their mating. We do know that some sharks lay eggs, while most have live births.
There are certain places in the world where a shark (like a school of hammer head females) will bare its young in salt water lagoons or "shallows" if you will. Their young has a place to hide there and is safe from deep open ocean predators.
YET, there is no real pattern for shark birthing, at least not that most humans know anyway.

Sharks give birth one of two ways......some lay eggs and some give birth to live babies. I don't know where all the sharks have their babies but I know Bull Sharks will swim upstream into rivers to have their babies and other sharks will go out to deep water....it is safe to say that all of them have their babies in the water though!

most of the sharks lay eggs and have them within them till they hatch and when the first shark hatches it eats the rest of the siblings or eggs(cannibalism) and when its big enough the mother shark will give birth to the baby shark.

I saw one giving birth at Northwestern hospital.
It had twins and one of them ate my arm.
