Only In Hawaii, Box Jellyfish...


Box Jellyfish Swarm Once a Month in Hawaii
Box jellyfish cause the most problems for swimmers in Hawaii eight to twelve days after a full moon, but swimmers might occasionally encounter them at other times also. They are most frequently seen on the west and south shores of the islands. To find out if jellyfish are a problem on a particular beach, look for jellyfish on the beach along the waterline, read all posted signs, and talk to local lifeguards.

There is even a special website that tells you exactly when
to expect them.
Its also part of the weather/news report as the day approaches.




We don't really have them on the North Shore,
thank goodness!

My sister and her family just moved to Mililani. while they were looking for a house to live in they stayed in Town. Her husband and third youngest both got stung down there! I even told them to look out :)
