Kauai Suggestions - Tiki Travel

4 4WDtiki Tiki Socialite Omao, Kauai Joined: Aug 03, 2004 Posts: 1995	4 4WDtiki Posted posted on Fri, Apr 5, 2013 2:23 PM My Public Service Announcement: Somebody drowned here yesterday, a tourist from California. From an online report: "More drownings occur on Kauai beaches than on any other Hawaiian island. During the last decade, Kauai has averaged 11 drowning deaths per year. Visitors comprise three quarters of the drowning fatalities." This is the 13th week of 2013, and we've already had ELEVEN drownings. Almost one a week. Most have been tourists, but a couple have been longtime residents. All of last year there were 8. If you come here, PLEASE be way more cautious than you think you need to be, while in the ocean or even on the shore. Only 7 of the 58 beaches on the island have a lifeguard.
