Can you swim here and are there sharks in the water?

No swimming and it is an intercoastal waterway that runs through to the inlet so it is salt water. With that said yes there are sharks. Bull sharks like to breed and the pups stay in the "river/nursery area" until big enough to head out to the ocean through the inlet. There are also pods of dolphins that are visibly swimming up and down the river and manatees. There used to be swimming until the city made it into a park, they still had swimming but the liability insurance was too much for the city so suddenly the water was deemed "unfit" to swim in due to bacteria. Hmmmm....yet people boat up and down the river, swim in the river, jet ski and water ski! Hope this helps

You can swim fish kayak canoe jet ski boat never seen any sharks just dolphins and porpoises
