PLYMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - A possible shark sighting that temporarily shut down a beach in Plymouth on Sunday was likely just a porpoise, officials said.

The beach was shut down for three hours following the sighting.
Several beaches on Cape Cod were also closed over the weekend due to sharks in the area.
