Video: Hammerhead Shark Reportedly Spotted Near Island Beach

Youtube video spots shark among the waves

In a brief video, a visitor to Island Beach State Park earlier this month claims to have captured images of a possible hammerhead shark among the waves near Seaside Heighs and Island Beach State Park.

Posted Aug. 13, the user says the sighting was actually made several days before.

In the beginning of the video, a fin of a possible shark is seen among the waves. As a wave crashes, the hammerhead can be spotted under the water of the Atlantic Ocean.
