Great white shark pinged offshore from Myrtle Beach
A 12-foot great white shark weighing more than 1,300 pounds was recorded swimming along the shore of Myrtle Beach Thursday by a global shark tracker.
The shark nicknamed Hilton was first tagged March 3 after he was caught near the coast of Hilton Head, and was most recently tagged offshore the Grand Strand just after 7:30 a.m.
OCEARCH tracks numerous sharks in real time, and shows that Hilton arrived offshore from Georgetown on March 9, and has been pinged daily several miles offshore the Grand Strand.
