TWO more Spanish holiday beaches have been closed following shark sightings.
Lifeguards ordered bathers out of the water at Melenara Beach on Gran Canaria's east coast for a second day running after a police drone spotted a hammerhead shark off the beach. It had only reopened on Sunday morning.
The bathing ban was also extended to neighbouring Salinetas beach.
Around two hours later, lifeguards hoisted the red flag at a third spot - San Augustin beach on the south of the island - after a tourist photographed the tell-tale fin of a shark sticking out of the water.
It was not immediately clear if the shark was the same one that terrorised bathers at Melenara beach around 5pm on Saturday and led to the first of the beach closures.
It was briefly reopened to bathing on Sunday before the second closure around 1pm.
Local police confirmed after a second much clearer drone sighting in the same area at around 5pm on Sunday showing it was a hammerhead, the same species that sparked panic on Saturday as it appeared near the shoreline.
