Video Shows Great White Shark 'Very Close' To Cape Cod Beach
The shark's fin came out of the water near where the waves were breaking.
ORLEANS, MA – A great white shark was caught on camera swimming "very close" to a Cape Cod beach Monday. In a video shared by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, the shark's fin can be seen clearing the surface of the water near where the waves were breaking on Nauset Beach in Orleans.
The video starts off with beachgoers asking, "Where is it?" before screaming when they spot the fin. One person can be heard making a joke about the cheesy movie series "Sharknado."
Researchers tagged their 10th and 11th great white sharks of the season off Cape Cod Monday amid another round of beach closures, including at Nauset Beach.
