They were spotted offshore chowing down on a large school of bunker fish 15 yards offshore near Davis Park Beach, a town spokesman said.
DAVIS PARK, NY — It looks like the sharks have headed east.
Davis Park Beach on Fire Island has been closed to swimming since Monday after sharks were spotted feeding offshore in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the Town of Brookhaven.
"I was told there was a lot of bunker activity, about 15 yards offshore, and with the bunker comes the sharks," wrote town spokesman Jack Krieger in an email on Tuesday.
