The popular swimming beach of Fish Hoek in False Bay has been closed to bathers because of high shark activity.

In one incident, a shark was seen feeding on a seal it had killed close inshore. Three other sightings of sharks have been reported. The Shark Spotters’ white flag is flying to warn people not to enter the water.

This situation at Fish Hoek Beach has prompted the City to issue a general shark alert in False Bay.
