Fernandina Beach: Shark spotted swimming in shallow water at Peter's Point

NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. — A shark was spotted swimming in shallow water at Peter's Point in Fernandina Beach this afternoon.

I was at Peter’s Point working on a story when this shark was spotted not far from the shore — they were only able to capture its fins, so I circled them. @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/nQIsPA8WtQ

Families tell me they were surprised the shark was swimming in such shallow water. @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/yUy6uPMI2c
