  • High surf and strong rip currents created dangerous conditions at Hanauma Bay Saturday and today.

Hanauma Bay is reopened Sunday after an influx of box jellyfish that resulted in more than 30 people stung prompted the City to close the park early Saturday morning.  

Lifeguard deemed the beach to be safe after scanning the shoreline and water and counting only few box jellyfish, said Ocean Safety spokeswoman Shayne Enright.

The Bay was closed Saturday after lifeguards counted over 50 box jellyfish onshore.
