BOSTON -- Two kayakers were attacked by a great white shark while kayaking off the coast of Plymouth on Wednesday.

The Plymouth Harbormaster reported that a shark attacked two women, though they managed to escape without injuries.

The women were reportedly in their mid-20s and from Plymouth and Barnstable.

Officials concluded that the shark was 14-16 feet in length and was likely a great white according to teeth marks on the kayak.

Seals that sharks often eat are known to frequent Manomet Point, the area of the attack.
