A fisherman has captured incredible footage of a great white shark feeding on a dead whale off South Australia's Eyre Peninsula.

"Looks like he's going in again," one of the fishermen said.

"Oh yeah, he's having a good old chew," another said.

Several sharks have been spotted in the area tearing into the carcass in waters near September Beach.

It is the second time in a week that a whale carcass has appeared along the state's coastline, with the body of a young sperm whale discovered nearby off the Yorke Peninsula.

Swimmers and boaties around Port Lincoln are being urged to be cautious due to large sharks in the area.
