EMERALD ISLE, NC - It's early in the beach season, but one shark decided to come a little too close to the shore for some beachgoers at one North Carolina beach.
Several at Emerald Isle got an up-close glimpse of a pretty big shark last week. Nellie Mansfield uploaded a video of the shark to YouTube.
The sighting comes shortly after reports of bull sharks breeding in big numbers at the Outer Banks.

Mansfield estimated the shark was five to six feet long and was briefly blocked behind a sandbar.
She said It didn't take long for the beach to clear out once he was spotted. No one was hurt.
