We will continue to reassess and will reopen for swimming as soon as shark activity in the area dissipates enough to be deemed safe,” said Christopher Moore, property director for Crane Beach.

Crane Beach will remain closed to swimming through Sept. 30 due to the continued presence of great white sharks.

A popular Massachusetts beach will remain closed to swimming through the end of September due to the presence of great white sharks in the water near the shoreline. Crane Beach in the North Shore town of Ipswich will be off-limits to swimmers until at least Oct.

A popular beach on the North Shore of Massachusetts remained closed Wednesday — and will for several more days — after multiple great white shark sightings on Tuesday. Swimmers were ordered out of the water Tuesday morning when a great white shark sighting was confirmed off the east end of Crane Beach.
