METROPOLITAN beaches have been reopened after almost three hours of closure due to five tiger sharks spotted metres from the coast.

Beachers from City Beach to Trigg were closed after sightings of tiger sharks ranging from two to three metres.

The first tiger shark was spotted at Floreat Beach about 8am.

Three of the deadly sharks were then spotted at Trigg Beach about 8.30am and one other at Scarborough soon after.

At 11am all of the beaches were reopened after no further sightings by the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter.

The Department of Fisheries, SLSWA and local authorities have also responded to shark sightings at Indijup Point and Meelup Beach in WA's south west this morning.

Meanwhile, Premier Colin Barnett has announced the state government will contribute $300,000 for an observation tower to enable surf lifesavers at Cottesloe Beach to better monitor conditions.

The Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club has identified a site at the foot of the Cottesloe groyne as the best place to build a tower, which will give an almost 270-degree view. With binoculars, lifesavers will be able to see several kilometres up and down the coastline.
