A teenager is conscious after a shark bite that happened Friday at Hanna Park in Jacksonville.
The boy, reportedly 17 years old, had a bite to the leg. The incident reportedly happened by the Mayport poles.
The park, which has nearly two miles of beach access, was expected to be crowded due to the holiday weekend.
The bite is the second in the area in recent days. A woman from Palatka suffered serious bites when a shark clamped down on her leg at St. Augustine Beach. She needed 30 stitches to close wounds on her foot.
Sharks have been spotted all along the Atlantic coach of Florida. A group of divers from Fernandina Beach got a rare up-close look at a whale shark on Sunday.
