Shark sighting closes beaches Saturday

There was another shark sighting on Saturday afternoon that closed Nickerson, Lido and Malibu beaches for two hours.

Lifeguards spotted a shark 75 feet from the shoreline.

Swimming resumed once officials determined there was no longer a threat to the public.

Hempstead officials say there have been at least nine shark sighting this summer near area beaches.
