Sandbar sharks (Charcharinus plumbeus), are found in tropical and subtropical waters nearly worldwide. They are coastal sharks but can be found in offshore waters. They are often encountered in bays and along the beach. On the beach front they can cruise along breaks in the shore or along sandbars, hence the name, looking for smaller fish, invertebrates and crustaceans. Two other names for these fish are Brown shark and Thick skin shark.
