According to KGOU, he spotted the shark approximately 50 feet offshore. He noted that it wasn't aggressive and was most likely searching for bait fish closer to shore.
As beachgoers began to notice the shark, some began yelling "Get out, shark in the water!" Some swimmers found that their exit was blocked by the shark and were forced to stay in the water until the path was clear.
