NYPD drone spots jaws near Rockaway beach
A 7-foot shark swam uncomfortably close to a Long Island lifeguard paddling just off the shore of Lido Beach on Monday afternoon, forcing the temporary closure of the sandy stretch, local authorities say.The lifeguard remained calm as a shark’s signature fin surfaced a few feet from his board about 30 yards from shore, said Don Clavin, supervisor of Hempstead.
“We anticipated additional sightings taking place,” Clavin said. “When it happens, our lifeguards are trained.” Baitfish happen to draw sharks in the local beaches’ wading areas, where swimmers are cooling off from hot summer days, he said.
