A popular beach on Sydney’s Lower North Shore has temporarily closed its baths following reports of two sharks spotted near the shoreline.
Witnesses reported seeing the sharks swimming within the netted section of Balmoral Beach in Mosman earlier this afternoon, prompting swift action from local authorities.
As a safety measure, the baths have been closed to the public. A spokesperson from Mosman Council confirmed that they are taking every precaution to ensure public safety.
“We have dispatched a diver to thoroughly inspect the area in and around the baths for any signs of sharks,” the spokesperson stated.
Additionally, warning signs and barricades have been erected on the beach to keep the public informed and away from the water until further notice.
“Warning signs have also been placed on the shore and barricades placed in front of the baths to alert members of the public,” a Mosman council spokesperson said.
“Nets in the area were inspected in the past month as part of routine maintenance.
“Further inspections will take place once the water quality improves, as it is presently murky.
