A video circulating on social media showing four dogs confronting a seal on a beach has sparked concerns about how people and pet owners should behave around marine wildlife. The dogs appear to be off leash, while the encounter becomes increasingly tense before the owner eventually calls them back. Another man then approaches the seal, which charges at him, prompting him to slap the animal several times before it retreats. The incident highlights both the importance of keeping dogs under control on beaches and the need to give wild animals plenty of space, rather than attempting to touch, move or interact with them. Lisa Starr, media liaison for the Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre and founder of the Helderberg Ocean Awareness Movement, speaks to Lester Kiewit about the incident and what beachgoers should and should not do when they encounter a seal.

Drowning ranks as the fifth most common cause of fatal injuries among Hawaii residents, resulting in an annual average of nearly 40 deaths. Notably, drowning stands out as the sole injury cause, in which non-residents make up the majority of victims, accounting for 53% of cases. This inclusion of non-residents raises the average annual number of deaths to 83. From 2013 to 2017, Hawaii had the second-highest resident drowning fatality rate among all 50 states, trailing only behind Alaska. From 2013 to 2022, there were nearly 800 fatal ocean drownings in Hawaii, with  54% being visitors. Drowning is the only injury cause for which non-residents comprise a majority of victims (53%). This makes beach safety an imperative topic to cover before your next Hawaiian vacation. Unfortunately, the sheer number of out-of-state visitors to Hawaii means many underestimate the power of Hawaii's waves and waters. Locals, too, can get into trouble in Hawaii waters, even if they've been to that particular beach dozens of times. Bottom line: Hawaii has lots of "dangerous" beaches, and it's important you know which ones are drowning hot-spots. So, we've put together a list of the riskiest beaches in Hawaii. We Podcast About Hawaii Because We Love Hawaii Get Help Planning Your Trip Oahu: Sandy Beach: Nicknamed "Shorebreak Beach" for a reason, Sandy Beach pummels swimmers with year-round crashing waves and strong currents. This combination has caused numerous spinal cord injuries, making it extremely dangerous for swimming. Oahu, the most populous island, also sees the highest number of drownings, with an average of 395 fatalities over a five-year period. The majority of drownings occur on the south shore, where popular beaches like Waikiki and Sandy Beach experience strong waves and currents. Hanauma Bay: While seemingly serene, Hanauma Bay has seen a history of drownings due to sudden waves and unexpected currents. While snorkeling can be enjoyed with caution, stay aware of changing conditions. Maui: Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach: This exquisite red-sand beach boasts rough waters and unpredictable currents, making swimming highly inadvisable. Enjoy the view, but keep your feet dry.  Maui comes in second with an average of 67 drownings, with most incidents happening on the west side near popular tourist destinations like Ka'anapali and Molokini. Makena Beach: Earning the nickname "Breakneck Beach," Makena suffers from powerful waves breaking right on the shore, posing significant danger to swimmers. Additionally, past shark attacks add to the risk. Island-wide: Hapuna Beach Park: Despite its beauty, Hapuna Beach on the Big Island has led to many spinal cord injuries due to its intense shore break. Swimming is not recommended unless you're an experienced and cautious swimmer. Hawaii Beach Safety Tips: Always check ocean conditions and lifeguard reports before entering the water. Never underestimate the power of the ocean, especially currents and riptides. Obey posted warnings and signs. If unfamiliar with a beach, ask locals or lifeguards for advice. Prioritize safety over adventure, especially with children present And here's an interesting fact: On the South Shore, there were 110 drownings, but a full 82 of them (75%) happened from April-September Stay safe, be smart, and use this information to identify the riskiest beaches in Hawaii Kauai Hanakapi'iai Beach: Renowned as the "most perilous beach in Hawaii," Hanakapi'iai, situated on the Na Pali Coast, confronts relentless rip currents, formidable waves, and ever-changing conditions. Swimming is strongly discouraged, and even wading can pose serious risks. Lumahai Beach: While offering stunning views, Lumahai showcases powerful waves and strong undertows that render swimming hazardous for the majority of the year.
