Broome's Cable Croc: Giant Surfing Crocodile Shuts Down Australian Beach (PICTURES/VIDEO)

LOOK: Giant Surfing Crocodile Shuts Down Australian Beach

As if the creatures that lurk in Australia aren't already terrifying enough… now they're even going out of their typical environment to terrify tourists.

A giant four-metre crocodile closed down an entire beach, after it surfed in knee-deep water at popular tourist hotspot.

"He was a big boy - his head was huge," she said.

"It would be all over red rover if he got hold of you."

The croc did not show signs of aggression, but Ms Scoble said it was "looking" at people on the beach.

"I felt really humbled but you probably would not feel that way if you were out there on a paddle board or having a swim," she said.
