At least two documentaries on public television have shown how Great White sharks from all over the Pacific come to feast upon the abundant seals and sea lions which come here to breed. When the sharks go into the feeding-frenzy mode, the water looks like it's gone into a boil. This would not be such a good place to go swimming or diving.
The island group consists of North Farallon Island, Middle Farallon Island and South Farallon Island.
