A beautiful beaked whale has tragically died after becoming stranded on a beach.

The whale's carcass washed up on Swanbourne Beach in the City of Nedlands, Western Australia.

The creature's cause of death remains unknown.

The beach has since been closed and Shark Smart has issued a warning for the area.

A spokeswoman from Parklands and Wildlife Service WA told Daily Mail Australia that the beaked whale had come ashore in Swanbourne on Tuesday evening.

The whale was headed back out to sea but tragically became re-stranded on Wednesday morning and died.

The spokeswoman noted that the occurrence was not uncommon along WA's shoreline.

Beaked whales are distinguishable by their long beaks and ability to dive to extreme depths.

Local authorities have closed Swanbourne Beach until the carcass is removed as a safety precaution for swimmers and surfers.

Shark Smart issued a warning for the area due to the risk of sharks being attracted by the carcass and swimming closer to the shore along that stretch of coast.

While it’s not uncommon for sharks to be present off the Western Australian coast throughout the year, Shark Smart advises people to exercise additional caution until the whale carcass is removed.

Shark sightings in the area should be reported to Water Police on 9442 8600.
