Harpswell Marine Resources & Harbor Management confirmed that there is currently a “Shark Flag Alert” off Cedar Beach.
Around 4pm on June 29, a local fisherman reported a great white shark surfaced while setting his gear just a few hundred yards off Cedar Beach. Town staff have raised the “shark flag” at that location to alert visitors about the possibility that there’s something else in the water besides them.
