After 22 sightings this weekend and 11 Tuesday, Wednesday saw 14 shark sightings reported off Cape Cod.

The sightings occurred between 9:21 a.m. and 2:50 p.m.

The first sighting was of a white shark a couple hundred yards outside the south inlet to Chatham harbor, the location of two sightings Tuesday as well. Another sighting took place here about two hours later on Wednesday, “moving quickly around the south inlet to Chatham harbor,” the Sharktivity app reported.

A shark was spotted 150 yards off North Beach Island in Chatham by a pilot at 1:20 p.m., and there was another sighting 200 yards off North Beach Island at 1:28 p.m.
