Interesting map from today's LA Times. Shark attacks in CA are rarely fatal, but surprisingly more common that I would have thought. The map shows that the sharks camp out along the central coast, and basically stop cold once they hit SoCal, but ramp somewhat back up again once you get into San Diego. Also, note that actually there have been more attacks in Humboldt than most other areas of NorCal.

Do those hot spots correlate to the number of people in the water as well, or is it really believed there are just more sharks in that area?
I saw something a few years ago that said Florida has the most attacks on the east coast, but that they believed that this was just because there were so many more people in the water there.
