Beachgoers at Perdido Key Beach, Florida were sent into a frenzy Sunday as a shark was spotted in the sea, approaching the bustling shoreline.

The incident unfolded around 2pm local time when a large shadowy figure was seen gliding through the crystal-clear waters mere yards away from unsuspecting beach visitors.
The beach, known for its stunning white sand and vibrant atmosphere, quickly turned into a scene of chaos and fear.
The video, which was shared with NBC15, shows two women running out of the water while two more people appear still inside and people shouted at them, "Get out! Get out of the water!"
Inside the water, a shark appears with its distinctive features apparent. Panicked screams filled the air as swimmers scrambled to reach safety.
The video footage, captured by beachgoer Jennifer Ward, depicts the horrifying sight of the shark's dorsal fin slicing through the shallow waves.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident.
It comes as a fisherman was dragged overboard by a shark while fishing in Florida.

He was washing his hands over the water when a shark suddenly attacked him. His friends on the boat tried to help him while he struggled to get back on board.

The incident was captured on video and shared by one of the passengers onboard.
