Ever since buying our TS on Kauai, I have been running a daily Yahoo news tracker for Kauai. Even now after 4 years of news gathering I am still astounded at the number of drownings that occur just on Kauai (another one today). Earlier this week there was one at Tunnels. Couple that with the number of people that unthinkingly follow the Ultimate Guide's hidden trails to waterfalls and either fall to their deaths from cliffs or drown trying to cross rain swollen streams, it is clear that Kauai (and Hawaii in general) is a surprisingly dangerous place to vacation.
Hawaii is not a theme park!
This site would be a good one to check before heading for the beach. Just click on your favorite island. You can even get RSS feeds for beach status.
