Jason DeBoer shared the video of the shark with Local 6 News partner Florida Today.

DeBoer spotted two sharks swimming close to the beach on Saturday. The video shows the larger of the two in the water around 2 p.m., just after low tide.

DeBoer said both sharks swam close to the shoreline for more than an hour.

A 9-year-old boy was recently bitten by a shark in a nearby area.  He was OK but underwent surgery for his injury.

Over the weekend, a 10-year-old girl was bitten by a shark off Cocoa Beach.

"It was scary," said a beachgoer.  "I decided to come to the beach, catch a tan, and I see a little girl getting attacked.  It's horrible man. I hope she's alright."

The girl was taken to Cape Canaveral Hospital and is expected to be OK.
