Stretch of South Maui shore reopens after air surveillance finds no sharks


Advertiser Staff

A stretch of beach on Maui’s south shore has been reopened after an air surveillance at noon showed no sightings of sharks in the area.

Maui County ocean safety officers and Department of Land and Natural Resources officials reopened the shoreline waters from Kamaole 1 Beach Park to Waiohuli Road. The area was closed yesterday and this morning following a shark attack on a male surfer yesterday at the surf spot known as Kalama Bowls.
