Trigg Beach was also closed on December 18 after a three-metre tiger shark was spotted only 100 metres off nearby Scarborough Beach.
The beach will remain closed until Lifesavers advise otherwise, and theWestpac Lifesaving Helicopter has since done an aerial patrol of Trigg Beach with no further sighting.
Last week, a man was bitten on the ankle while free driving by what he believed to be a small shark at the beach. He was not able to identify size or species. This incident was reported to Water Police at 11.30am on December 15.
Sharksmart has urged beach-goers to report any sightings to the Water Police, and to take additional caution in the Blue Holes area at Trigg Beach.
