Alarming footage has emerged of a large Tiger shark gliding within meters of swimmers at a popular Australian beach.

Two videos filmed on Monday show what appeared to be the same predator in the shallows between Whitfords Beach and Pinaroo Point, just north of Perth, in Western Australia.

Startled beachgoers can be heard in the video screaming at the sight of it the shark so near to people.

'It's a dolphin,' one surprised girl says. 'It's a Tiger shark,' someone else corrects her.

But with temperatures hitting the mid-30s, swimmers returned to the water in the afternoon and the shark was back - this time spotted by a drone camera.

At first the animal glides directly towards an oblivious bikini-clad woman, then swims around her at the last possible moment.

It then moves in between her and a nearby father, who unaware, beckons his young son towards him, before turning and heading back to deeper water.

A self-confessed local shark lover, Toby, said in a social media post he went looking for the shark, which he nicknamed 'Trevor'.

He claimed the woman in the clip saw the shark 'did the right thing by calmly getting out', but the father did not.
