BROULEE Beach was closed on Saturday afternoon after several sharks were sighted near the Bengello creek entrance.  The Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter spotted a 2.5 metre shark just after 1pm and notified Surf Lifesaving NSW.

Far South Coast Surf Lifesaving director, Andrew Edmunds said another three sharks were sighted by the helicopter an hour after the first sighting. 

“As a precaution we launched an inflatable boat and advised swimmers and divers in area about the shark. All public were removed from the water. There was minimal risk to the public,” he said.

“Sharks are in their natural habitat. If people are concerned about sharks, they should stick to swimming in patrolled areas where surf life savers can clear them from the water if there is a sighting.”
