Shark Sightings Close Massachusetts Beaches… Again

Three Massachusetts beaches are closed after shark sightings near New Bedford. The East, West, and Fort Tabor beaches are all closed to swimming, but shell fishermen are still allowed to venture into the water at their own risk.

At 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning, a rowing instructor spotted a shark-like figure in the water. After another sighting, the Fairhaven Harbormaster agreed that it was a shark. They believe it was an 8-10 foot Great White, very similar to the description of the shark that was spotted at Horseneck Beach 8 miles north.
