Anaehoomalu Beach at a Glance
Treat yourself to a visual fest at the Anaehoomalu Beach,
a stretch of salt-and-pepper coastline just outside the
Outrigger Waikoloa Resort. Besides its unique shores, the
beach is also famous for its picturesque sunsets, quaint
fishponds, and rows of South Pacific palms that have graced
movies and postcards for decades. If you’re after romance
and scenery, the Anaehoomalu should definitely top your
list.
Like many of the Big Island beaches, Anaehoomalu is protected
by offshore reefs and is very safe for swimming and snorkeling.
You’ll also find it better equipped than its contemporaries,
with restrooms, showers, and parking spaces conveniently
placed around the shore. The palms offer excellent shade,
so you don’t have to worry about sunburns either.
A little way inland, you will find a circle of palm trees
around an ancient Hawaiian fish pond. This pond was once
used by Hawaiian royals to raise mullet and other small
fish. The area is surrounded by educational plaques offering
interesting tidbits of Hawaiian history. Now a favorite
among photography buffs, the pond boasts very interesting
colors and looks simply spectacular in the sunset.
If you’d like to explore a bit, you can take a walk through
the nearby King’s Trail, a 2-acre historical site featuring
rock shelters, petroglyphs (rock carvings), and other ancient
artifacts. Another trail will take you to the Waikoloa Marriott,
Hilton Waikoloa, and other luxury facilities. Further ahead
is the more famous Hapuna Beach, named by the Conde Nast
Traveller Magazine as the best beach in the U.S.

Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
