An adult humpback whale beached in Ballito on Saturday, the KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board said.
The whale was partially decomposed when it washed up on Boulder Beach, said operations head Mike Anderson-Reade.
He estimated that the whale had been dead for about four days, and presumed it died of natural causes. It had not yet been removed.
The board warned surfers and swimmers to stay away from the water as it determined the presence of intense shark activity because of bite marks on the carcass.
