Alert level:
A shark ADVICE has been issued for Swanbourne water users due to a partial outage in the Shark Monitoring Network at Swanbourne.
Update on 13 October 2026 at 1:45 pm
The whale carcass, initially reported on the reef near Sandy Point Campground, has now washed up on reef south of Fourteen Mile Camp Beach, near Coral Bay.
A Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) Regulation 44 closure notice has been issued for the beaches between Stan’s Camp and Fourteen Mile, including The Ridge, and adjacent waters are temporarily closed for in-water activities. This closure does not apply to vessels.
Additional caution is recommended by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) as the decomposing whale carcass and any residue may attract sharks to the Sandy Point Campground and Fourteen Mile Camp Beach areas.
