Seeing a shark at Crab Island is nothing new. If you’ve lived along the Emerald Coast for any number of years, seeing sharks are quite common.

But on May 24, 2015, a Memorial Day Weekend video quickly went viral when John Mitchell Jr. uploaded video of the hammerhead shark swimming through Crab Island.
