About

When a shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Cape Cod, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.

Please join us with a blanket, picnic and lawn chairs for a screening of this Cape Cod summer classic film, co-hosted by WHOI, the Yawkey Foundation and the Woods Hole Film Festival.

 

Movie starts at dusk. Popcorn, trivia, and prizes at 7:30pm. 


This event is free and open to the public.
