UPDATE: 12.40PM Three Perth beaches were shut for the second time this morning after two more sharks were spotted.

The Westpac Helicopter spotted the 3m tiger sharks about 11.30am.

One was sighted 400m off Brighton beach heading south-west.

The other was sighted 100m offshore mid-way between Trigg and Scarborough Beaches.

Trigg, Scarborough and Brighton beaches have now been re-opened.
