CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Drone video shows Great White Shark swimming near children in Malibu

MALIBU, Calif. (NBC, KYMA) - A Great White Shark seen swimming dangerously close to a group of kids playing in the ocean.

In the drone video, the encounter happened off the coast of Southern California, near Malibu.

The man who posted it said the children had no idea the 10-foot shark was so close.

The video highlighted what experts say is one of the sharkiest summers in a decade off the California coast, driven by an El Nino weather pattern that's warming up the ocean waters, leading to more shark sightings, including incidents like this.
