Two sharks were spotted at Tobay Beach late Thursday morning, according to Nassau County Police.

Officials received a call at 11:49 a.m. reporting a shark sighting at the packed Massapequa beach, cops said. Police dispatched a helicopter and confirmed two sharks were swimming near the beach.

The sharks were about 6-feet long and were seen 15 feet from the shore, cops said. Pilots said they continued swimming east toward Gilgo Beach.

As a safety precaution, all beach goers were evacuated from the water until officials deemed it safe to swim, cops said.
