I rarely see sharks! But the best time to see them is this time of year at dusk. Just remember- thats what makes this an awesome place! this isn’t a roped off beach like an amusement park. This is seeing living creatures in their natural habitat – its the Gulf Of Mexico- so yes, you should always be on the lookout to see dolphins, manatees, rays, mollusks, fish and all sorts of different sea life out there… including sharks. Honestly, the odds are much greater for a person getting in a car accident on the way to the beach than getting bit by a shark.

Hubby & I will be vacationing on Lido Beach in Sarasota Oct. 8-17 and we’ll be swimming & snorkeling for shells. We usually visit in April and we’ve never seen a shark. When we’re there in Oct. should we be on the lookout for sharks?? Is there a certain time of year that they’re more prevalent? Scary!

They were pleasant, but the woman said “Lady, it’s the gulf of Mexico, there are sharks… boy, did I feel like a dummy. I thought they would put out warnings to stay out of the water :)

Sounds like you had a great, fun excursion!
