A 15-foot great white shark was just filmed gliding shockingly close to swimmers by the Santa Monica Pier—something even local experts rarely see. Drone photographer Carlos Gauna captured the moment, noting that adult sharks this size almost never venture so near the shore in this area. While the footage might send a chill down your spine, Gauna points out that attacks remain extremely rare, even with these giants around. It’s a wild reminder of how much we share the coast with incredible wildlife—would seeing a shark this close change how you feel about swimming here? #Pets #SantaMonica #GreatWhiteShark
