Right, but that is not a recreational beach.

I have heard of mainland beaches in SA that have lots of juvenile white sharks mixed in with swimmers/surfers but attacks are apparently rare maybe because sharks of this size are keyed on fish.

I know Australia has issues with Tiger sharks that apparently is pretty bad.

I suspect the outer cape is rapidly becoming one of the most dangerous places on earth to swim in water waist deep or deeper.
