Sharks in Marbella Seas - Shark in Elviria Beach

Well what a bit of excitement today!

We went to our new favourite bit of beach in Elviria, near Bonos. I dont particurarly like beaches here but this bit of beach is great. The other day we went and it was completely flat calm. Today there were some great waves. Its also really shallow with sandbanks quite far out so great for the kids.

But today came along a guy on a speed bike and another boat telling everyone to get out of the water. My husband said its probably Jelly Fish then joked and said maybe a shark.

Well me being me I went to ask whats up and this old guy said "Tiburon".....SHARK.

OMG I thought, we were just all in there. Everyone was told to get out and they were being quite strict, but then you still had idiots going back into the waters with their little kids.

Well, after that I couldnt go back in. We walked up and down the beach for a while, in the kind of hope of seeing the shark, but nothing. In the end we decided to leave as noone was allowed back in.

As we drove along the n340 back home, we could see that even up to Funny Beach they had stopped people going in.

So that was my little bit of excitement today - not too sure what the outcome was, so if anyone does know, just leave a comment.


Just found this article written this evening by Typically Spanish http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publish/article_22876.shtml about the sharks seen in Bahia de Marbella
