Police said swimmers were evacuated from the water while a search was held for the shark, but it wasn’t found.
It comes after two fatal shark attacks in South Australia earlier this year.
In May, 46-year-old local teacher Simon Baccanello was killed by a shark at Walkers Rock Beach, near Elliston on the Eyre Peninsula.
Then, in October, 55-year-old Tod Gendle was killed by a 4.2-metre great white shark while surfing at Granites Beach, south of Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula.
