ORLEANS, MASS. (WHDH) - A popular Cape Cod beach was closed to swimmers on Friday morning after a great white shark was spotted 60 yards from the shore.
The town of Orleans says a lifeguard reported that the shark was traveling north off Nauset Beach around 10:15 a.m.
A shark spotter plane flew over the area and confirmed the sighting, according to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy.
After one hour, without any other sightings, the water will be re-opened to swimming.
