Shark Spotted at Louisiana Beachgoer’s Favorite Summer Destination, Crab Island

Another shark spotted near the Gulf Coast has raised many eyebrows and this latest sighting comes from one of our favorite places to relax.

In recent days we have seen many photos and videos of sharks along the Florida panhandle and now one photo should put some on notice.

A huge shark was seen swimming, and yes we know sharks live in the water, in the shallow waters of "Crab Island." While this isn't the first time we have seen a shark in this part of Destin, FL., this comes after two people in that area were severely injured in a shark attack.

Crab Island is a favorite destination by many from Louisiana as the water there is often shallow enough for kids to swim in and it's a great place to relax in the water.

Well, here's a reminder that marine life is present even in the shallow waters of Crab Island. So, if you're going to be in the beautiful water soon, keep in mind what may be lurking.

Let me note here that some on social media say that this is a hammerhead shark, which usually is harmless, but still, this is a shark and it is very close to those in the water.

Here's a photo of the shark that was reportedly swimming at Crab Island in Destin, FL.
