MYRTLE BEACH, SC - Several large sharks were spotted Tuesday in shallow water near the shoreline in the Myrtle Beach area.

It's unclear from the video what species of shark were in the water. According to wildlife researchers, there are more than 465 known shark species living in our oceans today.

Common sharks spotted around Myrtle Beach's waters are the Black Tip Shark, Spinner Shark, and Hammer Head Shark, just to name a few. Most sharks are especially active in the evening and night when they hunt, so a spectacle during the day is pretty exciting. 

As of Wednesday the video had more than 2.5 million views and had been shared more than 77,000 times.
