10-foot shark spotted near Tybee Island prompts beach closure during Labor Day celebrations.
A 10-foot shark was spotted feeding offshore near Tybee Island, prompting lifeguards to clear the water from 15th to 18th streets for safety. This precaution was unusual, as TIOR typically does not close beaches for shark sightings. Smaller sharks were also seen near the shore. Officials are monitoring the situation closely. The incident coincides with Tybee Island's Labor Day celebrations, including a scheduled drone show.
