South Broulee, North Broulee and North Head Moruya beaches remain closed according to Batemans Bay Police.

The beachs were closed on Wednesday after a massive shark attacked and killed a juvenile whale.

The young humpback was spotted, washed onto rocks at South Broulee Bbeach.

A rescue mission was being organised when the whale washed back off the rocks and was taken by the shark.

Thursday morning a police spokesman said to his knowledge the whales carcass had not washed up on the beach yet and the beach would remain closed until it did.
