Migrating sharks were spotted again in the waters off Deerfield Beach Tuesday – this time near the line with Hillsboro Beach.
Aerial footage showed dozens of sharks in the ocean. The school of sharks swam just feet from some paddle boarders.
"I guess I didn't realize they'd be so close, but it's not very often that shark attacks happen," said beachgoer Veronica Evans, who is vacationing in South Florida with her family from Virginia.
