Description

This is the first leatherback I ever saw. Spectacular species. It started raining very hard as the female was covering her eggs, so we left before she entered back into the water.

Here are CNN and Telegraph articles on the Aventures Sans Frontières group that are patrolling the beaches and offering educational tours to visitors.

Description

a juvenile shark beached itself at Pacific (Manor district) beach. a small bite mark on its tail and a nearby seal led us to believe it was avoiding an attack. it was stranded on beach for several minutes before we got to it and was lacking energy when we tried to help it swim away. it took three attempts before it could make it out far enough to get past waves and into deeper water. we remained in the area for about 40 more minutes and we did not see a repeat stranding so we assume it made a successful return.
after reviewing all the comments, it looks more like a salmon shark than a great white.
