LIHU’E (AP) — A Kaua’i man is suing the state, Kaua’i County and property
owners after he became disabled after jumping into a shallow cove on the
island’s North Shore.
Robert Landsell became a quadriplegic two years ago
when he dove head first into the shallow, rocky cove in Princeville known as
Queen’s Bath. Guide books list the location as one of the prettiest areas on
Kaua’i, and it’s a popular place for both residents and visitors. There is no
designated parking area, so users park on a residential street and walk down a
trail through private property to the beach. Kaua’i County has put up warning
signs since the incident, and considered closing the beach during the high-surf
winter months until being told the public must always be allowed shore
access.
