LOS ANGELES -- Will Rogers State Beach was open Tuesday, a day after several sharks -- some as long as eight feet -- were seen swimming as close as 100 yards from shore.
"There have been no sightings today," said county lifeguards Capt. Garth Canning. "We advised swimmers to stay out of the water yesterday, but we did not order them to stay out, and some went in the water anyway.
"Going out in the water is always dangerous," Canning said. "On Sunday, we made over 380 rescues in the county area. Sharks are just another danger, and we're on the lookout for all dangers."
Authorities have not determined the species of shark sighted off the coast Monday, but there were concerns that the animals could have been potentially dangerous mako or great white sharks.
