There was a young lady from Gonzales, LA killed at Orange Beach early to mid 2000’s

If it was across the border to FL side, it was only a mile

They have no control over sharks. They will ban people from going in the water.

I can’t even remember the last shark bite incident on the Alabama Gulf Coast.



The week before I was to take the fam to Orange Beach for the first time a local got his arm bit off over near the fort. He was swimming at dawn (prime feeding time) practicing for a triathlon. that would have been in the 15-20 yrs ago timeframe.

Love to prove that wouldn’t you? Get your name in the National Geographic?

I believe it. We went to OB last month and we were eating at a restaurant at Arnica Bay and we saw small sharks swimming around the dock.

There are usually sharks around State Park Pier. If you catch a fish you better reel fast or a shark will steal your catch.

The shark dragged Anderson toward the beach, slamming both of them onto a sandbar 20 feet from shore. Pinned by the shark and struggling to get free, Anderson ripped his right arm from its mouth, losing his forearm. Anderson, a high school principal, returned to competition less than a year later, winning the Mullet Man triathlon. He continues to compete.


Yeahhhh this would’ve been the last straw for me...
