ROCKAWAY BEACH, Queens (PIX11) – A shark was spotted in the waters off Rockaway Beach in Queens on Sunday, according to the NYPD.

It's the third shark sighting at the beach in just a few days.

At least two sharks were reported on Thursday afternoon, leading to a partial shutdown of the beach.

The NYPD will continue to use drones to monitor the waters in New York City all summer long, the department said.

A woman was bit by a shark at Rockaway Beach last summer, officials said.
