Several juvenile white sharks were spotted swimming near surfers off Torrey Pines State Beach’s coast Thursday afternoon.

The sharks were seen near an area known as Bathtub Rock around 2:30 p.m. San Diego lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropay said state lifeguards reported that the sharks were about 6 feet long and not behaving aggressively.

State lifeguards posted signs to alert surfers and beachgoers to the sightings. A San Diego lifeguard warned beachgoers south of Torrey Pines State Beach.
