Hanalei Bay Reopened After Shark Sightings

By /

Sharks must be hungry. They’ve nipped a paddle boarder, a swimmer and a diver off Maui in the last few weeks.

Shark sightings in Hanalei Bay, 100 feet from the shore at “Pine Trees” on Monday prompted lifeguards to close the bay. It reopened today.
