    GLOUCESTER, Mass. (WCVB) — For the second day in a row, Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester, Massachusetts, was closed to swimming Friday because of a shark sighting.

Swimmers are advised to stay out of the water and follow lifeguard instructions, Gloucester Beaches posted on Facebook.

Good Harbor Beach was closed Thursday because of a shark sighting at nearby Long Beach. It was later reopened after officials said they did not observe any shark activity.

Gloucester is about 45 miles north of Boston.

WCVB will have more information when it becomes available.
