The beach at Coney Island in Brooklyn NY has just been evacuated after lifeguards reportedly spotted four sharks in the water.
Thousands of beach goers are currently being ordered out of the water and onto the beach.
The NYPD Harbor and Aviation Units are in the water and overhead searching the waters.
Coney Island maintains a broad sandy beach from West 37th Street at Sea Gate, through the central Coney Island area and Brighton Beach, to the beginning of the community of Manhattan Beach, a distance of approximately 2.5 miles.
Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn, New York City.
The beach area is divided into “bays”, areas of beach delineated by rock jetties, which moderate erosion and the force of ocean waves.
