A great white shark was spotted off the coast of Imperial Beach on Tuesday, according to city officials.
Lifeguards said the shark was spotted near Imperial Beach Boulevard at 9 a.m. A local took a picture of the dorsal fin, and immediately showed it to officials.
The picture was then sent to a shark research facility, which confirmed the shark was a great white. Researchers believe the shark photographed was between 16 and 18 feet.
The shark reportedly stayed in the area for a moment, then swam on.
"We haven't seen anything like this since the 1950's," said an IB lifeguard captain.
The beach is open, but signs warning people of the sighting have been placed throughout the beach.
