Sharks circle outside SC waterfront restaurant, video shows. See for yourself

Diners at a popular South Carolina seafood restaurant recently got a surprising show with their meals.

Several sharks decided to visit the dock of Hudson’s Seafood, a waterfront restaurant in Hilton Head Island. The unusual event was captured on a short video by Steve Wonser, who posted it on Facebook on Monday.

The video shows multiple sharks swimming in circles as onlookers watched from a safe distance.
