Shark attack leads to beach closures
Over the weekend, a white shark attacked a seal off Manomet Point in Plymouth, Massachusetts, leading to the temporary closure of White Horse Beach and Long Beach. While both beaches have since reopened, local authorities are urging beachgoers to exercise caution as August through October marks the height of white shark activity in the region.
