We have had several reports recently about bears being seen near SCOI cottages. The bears appear to be slowly moving north from Southampton and are looking for shelter for the winter. If you visit your cottage over the winter, please be alert for bears hibernating under decks and cottage structures.
What area have the bears been seen??
we are in French Bay
Bears have been sighted around the Trading Post, near the beach at French Bay Road and at the south end of Block B.
We had a Momma Bear and 2 cubs on our property (Block B – 319) in late Sept. around 7 p.m. It was still bright outside…sure scared us!
Bears have been seen around the area of the Trading Post for several years now
Thank you for keeping us all informed!
We had about 3 visits over the summer and we are on 2nd Ave just off of County Rd 13
