Want to get away this summer? Here are 9 things to do in and around the non-shark-infested waters of beautiful Amity Island!

Start your morning off with some yoga or pilates by the dock, where the hazard tape and reporters are just part of the small-town ambiance and nothing to worry about.

Attend a campaign event for Mayor Larry Vaughn, whose integrity and concern for his constituents’ safety make him an excellent public servant.

Cozy up by a bonfire with the locals and follow the first blonde that looks at you into the ocean for a perfectly safe night swim. 

Enjoy your 4th of July patrolling the beach with police chief Martin Brody, whose constant look of terror is totally reassuring.

Book a romantic sunset boat ride on The Orca where Captain Quint’s sea shanties and war stories definitely won’t give you nightmares. 

Hit the beach with your family and friends, and don’t forget your fake shark fin to pull a hilarious, harmless prank on your fellow swimmers. 

Join in the shark-hunting frenzy, which—despite the threat of sharks being totally ridiculous and overblown—still makes for a fun afternoon adventure.  

Go on an exotic underwater expedition with renowned marine biologist Matt Hooper—you never know what dead bodies sea creatures you’ll find!

Do a little shopping in downtown Amity without any guilt about how desperate this resort town is for your tourism money to avoid destitution.
