Where in the US would be a great spot to see Great White Sharks?

Answer 1

There are quite a few of them at Guadalupe Island (one of the biggest populations of them anywhere in the world), which is off the west coast of Mexico about 200 miles south of the border. I know that's not in U.S. waters, but boats run out of San Diego on 4-6 day trips see a lot of them. On fishing trips they call them the "tax man" as they take a certain percentage of your fish (50-100 pound tuna) right up next to the boat after you've spent an hour pulling on the fish. They describe these as 12-15 feet long.

However, they also run shark-cage diving trips there for the people who actually want to be in the water with the creatures. Me, I'd rather stay on the boat.

(I've never been to Guadalupe, but I've spent probably 1000 days on the water from Santa Barbara on down to the Mexican border, and probably another 100 or so south in Mexican waters, and I've never seen a great white. Basking sharks, hammerheads, lots of blues and makos, but no great whites.)

Answer 2

Great White Shakes are off the coast of Long Island, NY. About 12 years ago someone caught a small 160 lb. Great White in a 150 feet of water. Unless they are on a vicious attack on the surface, very rare, you're not going to see them. Also Monterey, California has Great Whites. Worldwide, the best place is the South African coast.

Answer 3

Hopefully you see one either from the inside of a boat, or from the INSIDE of a shark cage.
Pick a place, off the west coast, they migrate up and down the coast fallowing seals....their main food.
Sorry you will not be able to see one in a Oceanic park, suck as Sea World, etc....no one has managed to keep one alive more than a couple of weeks.
Oh one more thing keep you arms and legs inside the boat or cage.

Answer 4

The Channel Islands off the coast of Ventura California (so cal). Haven't lived there for ten years but used to be able to catch them there. Had a diver friend that would run into them now and again.

Answer 5

In the Kelp beds on the West Coast and off the coast of Eastern Long Island on the East coast

Answer 6

Bodega Bay, California, about an hour north of San Fransisco, it is the largest breeding ground for whites in the northern hemisphere.

Answer 7

basically opinion, yet for me, to flee questions like yours. As chief Thunderthud mentioned, "COWABUNGA!" EDIT: Mich', He by no potential mentioned he wouldnt. touché. definite it particularly is irrational once you reside landlocked in Pennsylvania. much greater irrational is provocative positioned up. you're frightened of it?, then stay faraway from it, that easy. Im no longer in revenues, I dont have a pitch. would be greater valuable for all and sundry else that does like it, quite of lstening on your nagging, whiney malarkey. you're worse than the flippin sharks.
