Ain't played nobody, PAWL!
When I was a little kid, we went to see Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington and there was a Gator swimming around in the water around the ship. I think it is fairly unusual to see alligators in North Carolina, though clearly not unprecedented. I've never seen (or heard of) one being on the beach in the surf like that one, though.
Charlie is the name of the Gator you saw. There are a couple that live in the marsh right around the Battleship. You can see them around there most days.
