Pompano Beach in Florida was forced to close 18 September after a giant 9-foot-long crocodile was spotted swimming in the water.<br /><br />The crocodile was first spotted by a beachgoer, who tried to frantically warn the lifeguards and people swimming in the water.<br /><br />The lifeguards were able to safely get everybody out of the water and the crocodile kept to itself beneath a pier for the rest of the day.<br /><br />After an inspection of the coastline, the beach was reopened the next day.
