A spokesperson there says it is unusual but not unheard of for that type of shark to be that close to shore.
Officials believe the shark may have followed a school of fish into the area.
It was eventually led back into the ocean.
Thresher sharks are not considered dangerous to humans due their timid nature and small teeth.
