A British family was left 'terrified' after being circled by a shark just off a beach at a popular holiday resort in Spain.
Holidaymaker Jessica Kenny, 27, was paddling in the sea at Playa Arenal d'en Castell, Menorca, with her four-year-old son when she spotted a shark that came 'zig-zagging' toward them.
She quickly realised it was following her dad, Darren, 57, who was swimming ahead towards some buoys, on Monday.
Passers-by began screaming and calling for the lifeguard - who dialled for backup and put the red flags out.
Children were hurriedly evacuated from the sea, but others were allowed to come close enough to video the shark.
