PEOPLE are being urged to avoid the Sandy Point beach after a whale carcass was located in the area.
VicEmergency has sent out an advice warning noting that people should avoid the area, stay informed and do not enter the water as the beach is closed.
Whale carcasses often attract sharks and will likely mean increased shark activity, potentially closer to shore if so.
It’s understood that wildlife officers and park rangers are at the scene assisting with the management of the carcass.
