Huge shark spotted off Welsh beach in Bristol Channel

A sailor was given the shock of his life when he spotted a massive shark in the shallow waters of the Bristol Channel as he made his way back to a popular beach harbour. Alex Brace, a member of a sailing club in Tenby, was out for a routine sail with his friend on Wednesday evening when, at around 8pm, they spotted something in the shallows.

As they were arriving back to dock the boat near the town's North Beach, they spotted something which they believed was too big to be a catfish - and not the right shape to be a dolphin, WalesOnline reports. They soon realised they had just encountered a shark.

Alex, who lives in Tenby and runs Alex Brace Bike Mechanic in Saundersfoot, said: "We had just come back in and we were ankle deep in water when we spotted it. My friend was standing behind me and we could just see these fins in the water, and a couple of seconds later we realised it was a shark.
