Tragedy Strikes at Popular Beach Camping Spot
A young woman has been killed and a man seriously injured in a shark attack on the east coast of Australia. The incident occurred at a beach within the popular Crowdy Bay National Park, a location renowned for its beach camping and fishing spots.
Emergency Response at Dawn
According to police reports, emergency services were called to the scene at approximately 6:30 am local time on Wednesday, 27th November 2025. The call came after reports that two people in their 20s had been attacked by a shark. The beach is situated about 360 kilometres north of Sydney.
Witnesses at the scene bravely assisted the pair before paramedics from the ambulance service could arrive. Despite their efforts, the woman died at the scene. The man sustained serious injuries and required airlifting to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.
Beach Closure and Investigation
In the wake of the attack, authorities have closed the beach to swimmers as a safety precaution. Police confirmed they plan to liaise with marine experts to determine the species of shark responsible for the attack.
This tragic event follows another fatal shark attack in September, where a man in his 50s was fatally mauled off Long Reef Beach in Sydney. Two sections of his surfboard were recovered from the water following that incident.
