I saw what looked like 2 dorsal fins about 100 yards off the coast of the beach. They swam close together, and parallel with the shore, then veered out towards deeper waters, and disappeared. Any ideas what they might have been???

Most likely dolphins. If they were sharks you would've been able to see the top of their tales as well as their dorsal fins. That's the rule of thumb anyways... dolphin you'll see the dorsal fin and no tail because the tail is horizontal, sharks you'll see the dorsal fin and usually the tail because it is vertical though it doesn't usually stick up as high and it all depends on the shark. But also seeing two like that side by side gives you a better chance it was dolphins and not sharks.

I've seen and swam in the water with dolphins present also. More than likely dolphins are what you saw.

Total agreement 50-50 chance dolphins or sharks. But I have seen dolphins in the area.

50/50 shot on dolphins or sharks. Best to play it on the safe side and stay out of the water for a little bit
