Shark Attack in Del Mar Leads to Beach Closures

A 46-year-old man was bitten by a shark while swimming in Del Mar, leading to significant but non-life-threatening injuries. Del Mar lifeguards have closed beaches for swimming and surfing for one mile in both directions from the incident site until Tuesday morning. The City of Del Mar is working with experts from the Shark Lab at California State University Long Beach to manage the situation. This is the second shark attack in Del Mar in about a year and a half.
