BEACH-GOERS have been deterred from swimming at Boathaven Beach just weeks after it opened after tourists reportedly saw a crocodile in the water on Tuesday.
He said at first he wasn’t sure what was happening but they told him they saw a crocodile in the water.
Mr Pearson said he had heard of crocodiles being sighted in the mangroves near the beach in the past but had never actually seen one.
Shute Harbour resident Mark Pearson was kayaking at the beach near Port of Airlie when he heard a group of tourists yelling out to him.
"I won’t be going back there for a while," he said. "I put my tail between my legs and came back to Shute Harbour," he said. A sign has been put up at the beach warning swimmers of the sighting and urging people to take care if in the area.
