Mary Lee, the great white shark with a famous Twitter presence, may be headed to the Jersey Shore just in time for Memorial Day weekend.

The 3,500-pound shark surfaced 40 miles off the New Jersey coast earlier this month and was recently reported off the coast of Wachapreague, Virg. on Monday, according to the research group OCEARCH, which tagged the shark in September 2012.

Mary Lee is once again tracking north up the coastline toward New Jersey waters, OCEARCH said.

Since 2012, Mary Lee has traveled more than 34,000 miles up and down the East Coast and as far away as Bermuda.

Mary Lee has more than 100,000 followers on its Twitter account, which was created in November 2012 and run by a reporter at the StarNews in Wilmington, North Carolina.
