José, who shared the clip, described the scenes as “just another day on the beaches of Málaga”.
He caught the unexpected encounter at Calahonda Beach on 16 July.
“The boars didn’t attack – they were just peacefully swimming, that’s all,” he told What’s The Jam.
Regional authorities have estimated that there are around 22,000 wild boars across Spain’s Málaga province.
Their overpopulation is attributed to an absence of natural predators like wolves, rapid breeding, and insufficient hunting efforts.

With droughts making it harder for them to find food and water, they are increasingly spotted in urban areas.
Julieth commented: “If you see piglets, dogs, or any kind of animals on the beaches, wear shoes or water shoes and avoid sitting or placing your skin directly on the sand.
“Unfortunately, animal droppings can carry parasites that penetrate through the skin.”

Another person joked: “They’re having a better summer than me.”
And María remarked: “There’s no doubt animals deserve to enjoy nature the most — after all, we humans are the real pigs.”
