Famous beach in Sydney closed after dozens of hammerhead sharks spotted in ocean | Abroad

Three species of hammerhead sharks live in Australian waters. Of these, only the largest species, which can reach six meters in length, would be really dangerous to humans. However, attacks are relatively rare. It is still unclear which species has been spotted near Palm Beach.

The idyllic beach is a good hour’s drive north of central Sydney. The beach has regularly been the setting for films and television series, such as ‘Home and Away’.

Look. Shark jumps right into fishing boat
