6 Shark Movies To Watch On Netflix This Summer

Summertime is finally here, making it the perfect time to celebrate the season and the beach-friendly weather. Of course, with the threat of Coronavirus still lingering in the air, some virtual beach trips may be in store, which makes shark movies a perfect option for a binge.

With Shark Week already airing this Spring, some of the best shark movies out there are no longer freely airing on TV as much. Luckily, Netflix has a nice amount available for streaming, which will make it easier to watch some of the ocean’s most feared creatures. So whether you’re into terrifying shark stories or prefer ones that are definitely not so realistic (or even overly sharky), make sure to check out these six movies this summer.
