Fatal Shark Attack in Solana Beach

By Jen Correia · April 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments


A swimmer was killed by a shark this morning off the coast of Solana Beach near Fletcher Cove. The attack happened at approximately 7am this morning. Swimmers are ordered out of the water within a 17 mile radius until further notice. They are currently searching for the shark by helicopter (which is the best way to sight them). More on the story courtesy of the LA Times.

    Thanks for the update Mario. Figured they would shorten the closure at some point. Always swim with a buddy.
