A man has been treated for shock after has was knocked by a great white shark while boogie boarding in Western Australia’s south.

The man was less than 50 metres offshore at Casuarina Point in Bunbury on Sunday morning when the big shark bumped his board.

He was shaken by the close encounter but managed to make his way back to shore and raise the alarm, which prompted the beach to be closed, a Surf Life Saving WA spokesman told AAP.

A St John Ambulance spokesman said the man had been treated for shock but was not injured and did not need to be brought to hospital.
