The Department of Environment and Conservation is considering closing a Yallingup beach after a shark was sighted 10m from shore.

A 3m white shark was spotted in water off Canal Rocks at midday.

There were divers in the water at the time of the sighting.

A series of shark sightings led to the closure of four Perth beaches yesterday.
