My friend and I were at the beach (lido west) today and we were there 5 mins when the lifeguards frantically called everyone out of the ocean! Turns out a few people had seen sharks (6-8 foot sand sharks) close to shore right where we were. We stayed another hour and couldn't stand the heat... still weren't allowed in. There were helicopters hovering and boats in the water looking for them I guess... crazy!

people seem to forget that we swim in an ocean...where lots of marine life lives, including sharks!

sand sharks are harmless. we really don't have any dangerous sharks around here. if the lifeguards knew it was a sand shark, the waters shouldn't have been closed. if they weren't sure, then they should close it.
