A 3-METRE croc drew a crowd at Vesteys Beach this morning as it cruised along close to the shore.
The sizeable saltie wasn’t the only large crocodile to cross paths with locals this morning with another 3m croc caught by the Crocodile Management Team.
The croc at Vesteys caught the attention of onlookers around 8.30am who watched on as it swum past.
Vesteys Beach is a popular off-leash dog walking area.
Authorities said people were reminded to be Crocwise.
