Holidaymakers have been advised not to swim at Coromandel Peninsula’s Whiritoa Beach after multiple shark sightings.
A lifeguard reported three separate shark sightings on Friday, leading to intermittent beach closures.
It comes days after Waihī Beach – just down the coast – was forced to close temporarily after a shark was spotted near the flagged area.
Holidaymakers have been warned not to swim at a popular beach on the Coromandel Peninsula after reports of multiple shark sightings.
Safeswim issued a safety warning for Whiritoa Beach today, advising people not to swim because of shark sightings.
A spokesman for the Whiritoa Lifeguard Service told the Herald there had been three separate shark sightings close to the shore today and the beach had been closed intermittently.
He said lifeguards were in the process of reopening the beach shortly after 5pm.
The spokesman said they didn’t get a good look at the sharks, but thought they may have been bronze whalers – considering how shallow they came – and said they were “on the smaller side”. He didn’t know if the separate sightings were of the same shark.
It comes after Surf Life Saving NZ says a shark sighting near the flagged area of Waihī Beach – just down the coast from Whiritoa Beach – forced its temporary closure on Christmas Day.

She was hauled on to a boat and whisked back to shore for medical treatment but died from her injuries.
A coroner’s report described the attack as a “single massive bite”.
And it issued advice to the public to stay safe around the dangerous species.
“Avoid swimming in areas where sharks have recently been seen and if you do see a great white shark while swimming you should quickly and calmly get out of the water.”
