The Environment Department in South Australia is warning swimmers, surfers and fishers not to use beaches on the Fleurieu Peninsula, near Deep Creek and Newland Head.
The warning comes after a whale carcass was stranded on Tunklilla Beach last Saturday.
The department says it is now leaching whale oil into the sea, which is attracting sharks.
A spokesperson says sharks have been feeding on the carcass at high tide.
Warning signs have been placed on beach access points.
