Queen’s Bath gate closed through winter

In the interest of public safety, the access gate to Queen’s Bath in Princeville will be closed through the winter.

The closure, effective immediately, is due to hazardous ocean conditions and anticipation of the winter season, according to Ocean Safety Bureau Chief David Kalani Vierra.

“We urge the public that entry in these hazardous conditions can result in injuries or drownings and puts the lives of our first responders at risk, Vierra said.
