Beaches at St Ouen’s Bay, on the north-western tip of Jersey, are closed to swimmers after reports of a possible shark sighting. Local outlets say the area is cleared while the animal is assessed. One report describes a lifeguard on a rescue board who reportedly punches at a shark measuring about 12 feet while paddling over it, in an apparent attempt to drive it away from swimmers. The reports emphasize that the species has not been confirmed, and the accounts do not provide definitive verification of the shark’s size or type. The beach closure remains in place while officials respond to the sighting and assess the situation. No details are provided across the sources about injuries, the exact timing of the incident, or whether the animal is located after the lifeguard’s action. The overall reporting focuses on the beach being cleared and closed due to safety concerns following the sighting and on a lifeguard’s reported attempt to manage the threat.
