Guest WildOcean Report post Posted April 25, 2008 We would like to extend deepest sympathies to the family and friends of David Martin who didn't survive the shark attack. Sharks are rare in the ocean off of Solana Beach. There has never been a report of a shark attack in the coastal waters off of Solana Beach There have only been two shark sightings in these waters within the past 30 years, both of which were Blue Sharks who were injured and making their way into shallow water to die. Solana Beach is a beautiful place and I hope people are not afraid to visit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
