A crocodile was spotted enjoying a dip in the ocean near a tourist beach.

The refreshed reptile was seen swimming in the waves as a couple spent the day with their children.

Other beachgoers shouted out to the family and they immediately dashed out of the sea to safety.

The couple, Giovanni and Maom, then filmed the unusual scene with their phones from the safety of the shore.

They encountered the dangerous animal while visiting Celestún, located west of Cancun in Mexico.

The crocodile is believed to have ventured into the sea from the nearby Ría Celestún Biosphere Reserve yesterday (21 May).

Local experts said the animal was a Morelet’s crocodile.

They are commonly found near freshwater but can venture outside of their natural habitat in search of food.

They can also travel further afield to seek refuge during heat waves.

One local commented: “Excess heat and human invasion or territory is moving all animals out of their natural habitat.”
