Shark warning signs posted at Kauai beach

Shark warning signs were posted this afternoon at a Poipu beach after a three-foot reef shark was seen in the area, the Kauai Fire Department said.

Lifeguards reported the shark was seen near the shoreline at Brennecke’s Beach on the eastern end of Poipu Beach Park at about 2:30 p.m. Lifeguards posted warning signs and were advising beach goers to stay out of the water until further notice.

Lifeguards will determine whether to reopen the beach on Sunday morning.
