Teenage boy bitten by shark at popular NSW beach
- A 16-year-old boy suffered a shark attack while swimming at Cabarita Beach, NSW, on Sunday afternoon, June 29, 2025.
- The attack may have occurred because the shark was initially targeting a seal, and seasonal whale migrations increase shark activity in the area then.
- Bystanders and surfers applied a tourniquet, used a surfboard as a stretcher, and helped carry the boy until paramedics arrived and airlifted him to Gold Coast University Hospital.
- The boy suffered serious trauma to his right arm, wrist, and right leg, with NSW Surf Lifesaving CEO Pearce describing the incident as being in the 'wrong time, wrong place' for the young individual.
- The boy's condition remained serious but stable, and authorities patrolled the area with a helicopter and jet ski while deciding when the beach can safely reopen.
