Nicole Oister posted the video to Facebook and shared it with WMBF News. The family was visiting North Myrtle Beach from New York.
As the child body surfs, a fin approaches from the left. The girl quickly jumps up and runs from the water.
"Baby shark?" Oister wrote.
Experts recommend beachgoers swim with a buddy, stay close to the shore and avoid swimming at dawn or dusk. They also say to avoid swimming if there are fish or seals around, the prey that attract the predators.
