Beaches closed to swimming after a Great White shark attacks seal off Plymouth

Quote

Two South Shore beaches have been closed to swimming after a great white shark attacked a seal on Sunday.



The Town of Plymouth said in a Facebook post around 2 p.m. that White Horse Beach and Long Beach have red flag warnings due to a confirmed great white shark-seal predation off Manomet Point.

"Due to the confirmed nature of the sighting, beaches will remain closed to swimming until the red flag is lifted."

The town also shared a photo of a large, partially eaten seal that appeared to have been attacked by a shark atop a rock in the water.
