Shark sighting prompted staff to clear swimmers from the water

Rose Island · Added 2026-09-20

Shark sighting prompted staff to clear swimmers from the water A guest visiting Rose Island in June 2022 says they spotted a large shark and alerted staff, who immediately got everyone out of the water. The guest enjoyed the beach, lunch and other parts of the Sandy Toes excursion but felt uncomfortable swimming afterward. This is a reported sighting, not a shark attack on that guest. The review’s speculation connecting other attacks to the same operator is not established by this account. Source: TripAdvisor review posted November 7, 2022.
