Crab and Shark Art

A huge blue crab and shark are displayed on poles right off the main highway. Easy to pull in and take photos with these giant sculptures.

The blue crab is so revered in the area that the town holds a blue crab festival every year.

Shark on Roof, Big Crab

A business in Panacea has a large shark on the roof and a big crab nearby on a pole. It appears to be a seafood market, but the business was closed and there was no sign naming the business. Business might be defunct.

[signmanjoe, 07/27/2023]

Along America's highways, sharks on poles (or even crabs on poles) aren't a particularly endangered species. We prefer them at maw-to-victim photo op level, but travelers might enjoy the convenience of two in one stop.
