Sharks have been spotted swimming in shallow waters at several Florida beaches this Fourth of July weekend, sending frantic swimmers fleeing to safety as beachgoers took videos of the startling incidents.

A hammerhead shark appeared zipping in and out of shallow waters in Perdido Key Sunday afternoon — at one point swimming five to 10 yards offshore, WEAR TV reported.

The massive creature can be seen aggressively thrashing about in the ocean as concerned onlookers yell out: “Shark!” Swimmers sprint out of the water, peering over their shoulders, as onlookers cry out about the danger.

Sharks should be massively culled. They are not needed.

Sharks are needed to keep the populations of prey species in check. Whenever man has decided to eliminate one species in favor of another, the ecosystems have suffered. And you're forgetting Who created sharks.

Great idea for thw same reasons we don’t have predators in cities. The eco sysyems do just fine. Human lives matter.

No it isn't. The loss of one species threatens the survival/existence of many others.

Ever been to a beach in Jersey?

Babes in bikinis and thongs abound.

Been to many. Holgate is my favorite. Beach Haven cops run a clean town. No ferals, and very few Bennies. Too far for NYers and too expensive for PA trash.

Yes it is. Long beach Island is nice too.

Ocean Grove to the north is very nice. It's a Methodist enclave that has very nice beaches, family friendly, no bars or liquor stores allowed in the town(but you can byob) and on Sundays no one is allowed on the beach until 12 noon.

Not until after Sunday services and the quaint Victorian homes are very nice, really a nice little town.

Years ago my parents had a nice home in Ocean Grove.
