A sunbather filmed an 8ft-long shark as the creature sent US beach-goers running for safety when it swam ashore and rolled about on the sand.
The fish was spotted in the shallow waves in the Seaside Park area of New Jersey.
It was filmed advancing right up to the shore, scattering bathers, before rolling about and swimming back to sea.
No-one was hurt in the incident.
Local beach control authorities said the creature was a sand shark, which are common in the area.
Sand sharks usually feed on dead fish and stay further away from the shore.
