The whale carcass that prompted a shark warning off Singleton last week has washed up at Halls Head beach where crowds have gathered to take pictures.
Halls Head and surrounding beaches remain closed after a five metre great white shark was spotted feeding off the whale carcass on Sunday afternoon followed by another shark sighting on Monday morning closer to shore.
Seven News reporter Chris Meldrum said there's quite a crowd of onlookers here on Halls Head beach taking photos and just having a look.
"I'd say the whale carcass that has washed up is about 15 metres long, quite decomposed and is getting belted by very heavy waves.
"Fisheries WA said this is the carcass that a shark warning was issued for last week off Singleton."
The job of removing the whale carcass will be carried out by the City of Mandurah and officers from the Department of Parks and Wildlife.
A shark warning has been issued with the stretch between Falcon Bay and Doddies beach to remain closed until further notice.
