A video, posted to the Facebook of Cody Kinzer of King, North Carolina, shows at least five sharks swimming in the ocean below the Garden City Pier; at one point two of the sharks are just feet from the edge of the beach.
While the video shows about five sharks swimming, he said he saw eight to 10 swimming along the coastline. He said that people on the pier and on the beach were warning beachgoers to stay out of the water.
Kinzer said he was on his second day fishing at the Garden City Pier, and he and his girlfriend noticed several people looking over the edge to see what was going on.
“…seeing these sharks this close to shore was surprising…I’ve fished a lot down there so I know they are always out there and I’ve seen plenty but I’ve never seen 8-10 sharks this close behaving the way they were,” Kinzer said in a Facebook message.
Kinzer said of the response to his video: “Honestly it blew me away, I realize myrtle beach is a huge vaca destination and sharks are always a hot topic but I had no idea it would get this kind of recognition. I was amazed as I checked the views every hour or so.”
