Beaches closed after swimmer suffers 'significant' injury from shark bite in Del Mar
A 46-year-old swimmer suffered “significant” injuries Sunday morning when he was bitten by a shark off Del Mar — and officials told people to stay out of the water in the area for the next two days as a precaution.
The attack was reported around 9 a.m., about 100 yards offshore from the main lifeguard tower at 17th Street, officials said.
The man was bitten as he was swimming with about a dozen ocean swimmers who meet regularly at the site, said Chief Lifeguard and Community Services Director Jonathan Edelbrock.
No one reported seeing the shark before the man was injured. “Everybody was stunned,” Edelbrock said.

Hurricane season, fire season, and shark season.
And nieces go there often.
