The Shire of Broome has confirmed Cable Beach will be closed until further notice.
The incident comes less than a month after Broome man Charles Cernobori died after being attacked by a bull shark off the same beach, the first fatal shark attack in Broome for nearly three decades.
Mr Cernobori was attacked in shallow water while he was bodyboarding.
