Shark River Inlet

Shark River Inlet

Type:
smallish tidal river inlet with stone jetties or bulkheads on both sides
Depth:
15 ft

This inlet has an L-shaped jetty on the north side and a longer straight jetty on the south side. Both jetties are made of loose stones - hardly any concrete - and the bottom is sandy and usually clean. You can walk over the bridge from one side of the inlet to the other in about five minutes.
