I wish we could track down the other pics.....the more I look at it I am wondering. That tail looks like a shark. I just showed it to my 6 year old and he said "cool, look at the shark"

This is apparently a sequence of the other photo's, but the third says it was taken later in the day. That is a lot of time for a shark to leave and a dolphin to show up. I do think it is a dolphin though.

A quick glimpse and you think it's a shark, but after looking at it, I still think it's a shark.

dolphin for sure, a funny thing happened to me and my buds at spring break in daytona in 1987, one guy goes running out of the ocean yelling shark and were standing there like morons going where when all of a sudden a dorsal fin comes swimming by. upon being further morons and waiting to get a better look it turned out to be a couple of dolphins swimming by. whewwwww.

lol.....been there done that. Only I did it to my husband and child.
I looked and looked and looked again just to make sure. I started yelling at him to get out of the water (without using the "s" word) He didn't hear me, so I figured I will at least save myself and my son who was in my arms. My screaming drew much attention. Everyone else started yelling SHARK....... (it was a couple summers ago when many shark problems in FLA)
It was JAWS all over again. 2 adult dolphins and a baby started peeking out of the water. We all started laughing hysterically.
My daughter still remembers it.
