Reports of "aggressive shark behavior" have temporarily shut down a two-mile stretch of a popular California beach, officials said Sunday.
Witnesses at Sunset Beach in the Southern California town of Huntington Beach told lifeguards that a shark was splashing and acting aggressively at 3:45 p.m. on Nov. 5 before a whale washed up on shore. "While the whale was still alive, bite marks were seen on the mammal," the city said in an alert posted on social media. The young whale was beached near lifeguard tower 22.
"As is the City’s policy when aggressive shark behavior is witnessed, the shoreline & ocean will be closed for 1 mile in each direction of the incident," the city said. "The closure will remain in place for the next 48 hours."
KTLA-TV shared images of the injured whale.
The city said the Pacific Marine Mammal Center was notified. The center did not immediately respond to a request from SFGATE for an update on the whale.

I saw a very nice shark one day at the beach. It was giving me a shark smile. Looked like a lot of Dem politicians.
Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach are two different cities. sunset is the first town north of HB as you go up PCH.
I used to love Sunset Beach. It’s a very smaller beach between Huntington and Seal Beach. Lotta small hotels that I have fond memories of romantic getaways at during my 20’s.
But after the whale died, the bite marks disappeared?
