The man was just north of the jetty at the time of the incident, according to Tamra Marris, spokeswoman for the Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue.
Marris said no one saw the shark, but the bite on the man's foot was "consistent with a shark bite." He was taken to the hospital for treatment.
No one else was injured and no other sharks were reported in the area.
The beach remained open.
The man's name was not immediately released.
Marris said there were hazardous rip current conditions, and as of midday Saturday, there had already been several water rescues.
