Florida beachgoers were shocked to spot a bear enjoying the waves in Naples.

Kylie Nelson captured video of an unusual scene as she and her son took a morning walk along the shore in Naples, Florida. They spotted a black bear paddling through the waves.

Thinking on her feet, she confronted the bear and scared it away. “Kiley ran at the bear waving her arms screaming ‘get out!’ Mama bear to mama bear,” Tracy Pickett said in a Facebook post.
