Drone footage shared to YouTube on August 1 captured a large shark swimming just “75 yards” off the coast of Flying Point Beach in Southampton, New York.

The footage, filmed by videographer Joanna Steidle, shows the “huge shark” and a smaller fish following the shark’s movements, as they navigate through a shoal of fish close to the coast.

In nearby East Hampton, local media reported on a spike in shark encounters in mid-July.

In comments underneath the video, Steidle wrote that she had been told it was “a dusky shark” that features in the footage, with “some species” of jackfish following it.
