Beachgoers on Benidorm’s Poniente beach had a surprise this morning, when a disorientated shark was seen swimming in the shallows at 10.30, with its dorsal fin very visible.
Local police were quickly on the scene and cordoned off a section of the beach, while a police dinghy and drone observed the marine creature from the sea and the sky.
Experts from Valencia’s Oceanographic centre are helping to coax the blue shark back to deeper waters.
