KEY POINTS

  • Multiple Sydney beaches including Manly, Dee Why, and Palm Beach were closed on the morning of January 26, 2026, due to shark sightings.
  • Lifeguards evacuated swimmers around 9am and are continuing an intensive search expected to last several days to track the sharks.
  • Officials stated they will act immediately on any new information received during the ongoing shark search.

Sydney decided to turn its seaside morning into an exclusive no-swim zone around 9am on January 26, 2026, after some very persistent shark sightings crashed the aquatic party. Lifeguards played bouncer, evacuating Manly, Dee Why, and Palm Beach like the beaches suddenly turned into VIP clubs with the world’s most dangerous gatecrashers—the sharks. Officials promised to keep up their highly intense detective work for days, leaving sunbathers texting their FOMO while a shark search unfolds. Surprisingly, the sharks gave no hints and refused interview requests, proving once again they are the Ocean’s most mysterious cryptids.
