Answer

Sally on the side means, they are having a sex with girl outside the relationship they are supposed to be monogamous in.

Like seeing a shark on a mountaintop could mean a couple different things in the limited context given. But I think it was either a surprise for him to see her there, or she really stood out in her surroundings.
