‘I didn’t pull out my camera until I realised what he was doing… the second I did he turned around and left,’ she explained in the comments of the video.
Ms Dow told Daily Mail Australia she posted the footage to TikTok to remind other young women on the beach alone to remain vigilant.
‘My intention of posting this incident was solely to remind other women to not take their safety for granted, especially when venturing out alone,’ she said.
Viewers were quick to sympathise with the 21-year-old in the comments while others shared their own experiences of creepy encounters.
‘I hate that this happened! Some people just need to keep to themselves,’ one said.
‘I had one old buzzard hounding me the last time I went solo it’s so s*** you can’t sit at the beach and just enjoy it,’ a second woman commented.
‘Oh babe I’m so sorry this happened to you! This has happened to me before so I know exactly how scary it feels,’ a third shared.
‘Yes always be aware, someone was in the bushes at the beach taking photos of my mum,’ a fourth recalled.
