8 Shark Movies To Watch On Netflix This Summer

Summer is officially here, marking the perfect time for plenty of days spent on the couch bingeing favorite TV shows and movies. With the season also in full swing, movies about sharks and the beach seem to be even more appropriate.

Sure, you can wait for the infamous Shark Week that kicks off in July, but that's still a little bit away, as is the premiere of the final "Sharknado." Thankfully, you won't have to wait until then for some of the best shark movies out there, as several are already available to stream on Netflix. So whether you're into terrifying shark stories or prefer ones a little (okay, a lot) less realistic, make sure to check out these eight movies this summer.

Starring Mandy Moore and Claire Holt, this movie follows two sisters who are trapped in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean. Great Whites circle nearby as their oxygen tanks continue to run low.

"Sharknado" (2013):
