A 3m whale carcass has washed up on Bathers Beach in Fremantle.

Surf Life Saving WA, which yesterday cancelled a weekend carnival due to increased shark activity off Perth's metropolitan coast, urged beach users to exercise caution in the water until the carcass was removed.

Two sharks which had been captured and tagged were detected by the shark monitoring network off metropolitan beaches, including Leighton Beach, during the past few days.

The whale was discovered on the popular beach early this morning.

Wildlife officers are currently assessing options to remove the carcass.
