The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said on Twitter that Grey Whale Cove State Beach south of Pacifica is closed following an attack by a great white shark between 6 feet and 8 feet long this morning.
A 35-year-old man swimming at Gray Whale Cove State Beach was bitten in the right leg by the shark about 9:15 a.m. Saturday, the sheriff’s office tweeted about 11:30 a.m.
The man swam ashore on his own and was then transported to Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto.
A warning sign was posted and the beach closed, the sheriff’s office said.
