Beach Closure - Swanbourne Beach

Published on Tuesday, 29 September 2026 at 10:04:22 AM

Due to the whale carcass at City Beach South still remaining, and the recent report of a 5-metre white shark sighted at 8:05 am this morning, the City advises that Swanbourne Beach will remain closed until the carcass has been removed.
We will provide further updates once the beach has been re-opened. 
The City encourages people to download and follow SharkSmark for up-to-date alerts and warnings:  SharkSmart - Shark Activity
