BEACH ON SHARK ALERT - 15-footer is seen within 20 feet of Rexhame Beach in Marshfield


By The Patriot Ledger

MARSHFIELD - The beach is open for swimming, but lifeguards and the harbormaster are keeping a close watch on the waters at Rexhame Beach after the sighting of a 15-foot shark forced swimmers from the water for about an hour.

‘‘I’ve seen sharks at Rexhame Beach before, but this was more dramatic,’’ said Sara Coyne, 21, of Marshfield. ‘‘Everyone was lined up on the edge of the water watching.’’

Erin Baber, 21, a student at the College of the Holy Cross who was at the beach with friends, was one of the people watching.

‘‘You could see the dark shape come out of the water. You could see the fins come up,’’ she said.

The shark was first seen shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday as it swam within 20 feet of the shore. Spectators lined the beach for several hours trying to get a look at it.

No more sightings have occurred since Saturday, but lifeguards and the harbormaster are keeping watch, beach administrator Cindy Castro said Sunday evening.

Public safety officials are taking no extra precautions regarding swimming at the beach, Castro said.

‘‘We are just doing the same thing we normally do unless (the shark) keeps coming back day after day, she said.
