Swimmers and surfers were ordered to evacuate a popular NSW beach on Monday after 60 bull sharks were spotted in the water.
The sharks, which were around two metres long, were seen swimming around Lighthouse Beach in Ballina.
Officials from Surf Life Saving NSW started clearing the water and the beach was officially closed about three hours later.
Garry Meredith from Surf Life Saving NSW told The Northern Star he'd 'never seen anything like it'.
It is thought the sharks had gathered to feed as the tide was going out.
