Giant surfing crocodile closes Broome’s Cable Beach in Australia

See for instance Perth New

A giant four-metre surfing croc has closed Broome’s iconic Cable Beach for a day before moving on.

While Perth beachgoers were enthralled with a 2000kg sub-adult southern elephant seal which had “hauled out’’ on a city beach, Broome locals and visitors were captivated by the 4m croc which took to Cable Beach’s gentle swell.

The croc hung around for most of Saturday but had moved on by Sunday.
