Terrifying snap shows HUGE shark lurking just feet from kayaker off Cornwall coast
The seven-metre shadow of the beast was spotted in the water off the Cornish village of Porthcurno
THESE terrifying snaps show a huge shark stalking a kayaker off the Cornwall coast.
A seven-metre shadow of the beast was spotted in the water off the village of Porthcurno, in the west of the county.
A spine-tingling photograph shows the basking shark - the biggest found in British waters.
It looks a scene from Jaws.
But as terrifying as the image is, basking sharks are actually harmless to humans and live off plankton.
Rachel Hosken took the pic from a vantage point at the nearby clifftop Minack Theatre.
In another stunning image, an on-looker watching the shark swim by as she watches from a rock.
Last year we revealed heart-stopping pictures showing the kayakers being circled by basking sharks off the cost of the Isle of Man.
The tourists spotted their huge dorsal fins surround them and counted seven of them feeding near to their kayaks.
Only last month, a stunned caretaker snapped what he believed was a monster Great White Shark lurking off the Devon coast.
Tristan Severn-Jones estimates the creature he caught on camera at Bovisand Beach, near Plymouth, on Friday morning measured 25 feet long with a fin along its back.
It follows a similar sighting at one of the UK’s most popular seaside resorts.
Sean Pepper, 34, caught the beast on camera from his brother’s second-floor flat in Hastings, East Sussex.
