Local Beach Evacuated After Possible Shark Sighting
Beachgoers reported a fin in the water at about 3 p.m.
There was a possible shark sighting at Wallis Sands State Beach in Rye Tuesday afternoon.
Some beachgoers reported a fin in the water at about 3 p.m., according to WMUR-TV.
Authorities got people out of the water and searched the area, but they found nothing, according to WMUR. People were then allowed back in the water.
Last year, there was a likely blue shark sighting at Wallis Sands. Seabrook recently also had a possible shark sighting, although it turned out to be a large sunfish.
