Aloha from Kaua'i!
For those of you on island - I just received this update from the County of Kaua'i about Hanalei Bay:
Hanalei Bay closed due to shark sightings--
HANALEI – Ocean Safety officials have closed Hanalei Bay to swimming until further notice due to shark sightings.
Lifeguards reports that two large sharks were sighted roughly a hundred feet from shore fronting a surf spot known as “Pine Trees.”
‘No Swimming’ signs have been posted along the beach and the public is advised to stay out of the water until further notice.
The beach will remain closed until at least tomorrow morning.
For updates visit http://www.kauaiexplorer.com or call the Ocean Safety Bureau at 241-4984.
***********************************
Usually these are short term closings, but it is worthwhile noting here for anyone who is currently on vacation .....
Malama Pono,
Janet
