Beaches in Byron Bay remained closed overnight, after a number of shark sightings were reported yesterday.
Lifeguards swept the waters early this morning, and reopened the beaches at around 9 o’clock.
While crowds packed Main Beach throughout the day, not everyone was confident enough to brave the waters.
“I’m a bit nervous, I said to the kids this morning, I don’t have a good feeling about these Sharks, so they’re all happy to stay out I think”
Lifeguards will continue to conduct patrols on jet ski’s over the next few days – easing the concerns of beach goers.
“Yeah, I’ll take my chances I guess!”
