Penny, who has been tracked by shark research center OCEARCH since April, surfaced several miles off of Ocean City around 6:45 a.m. Memorial Day, according to the org's shark-tracker.
Penny made her way north since being tagged by OCEARCH in North Carolina just last month. She "pinged" off the coast of Maryland in mid-May and resurfaced just this weekend in New Jersey.
A "Ping" happens when an animal tag breaks the surface of the water, sending data, OCEARCH says.
Earlier this month, a slightly smaller White Shark named Simon pinged several times off the coast of Ocean County. Then, on May 8, an eight-foot shark surfaced in Sea Isle City.
