A 21-year-old Georgia man was bitten while wading in waist- to chest-deep water near the Dunlawton Beach Approach around 5:30 p.m. The bite was believed to have been caused by a shark, and the man reported seeing an approximately four-foot shark. First responders treated his non-life-threatening injuries at the scene and transported him to a nearby hospital.

This record is kept by NSB Watch, a watchmaker on this beach. One of its dive watches is named the Shark Bite.
