Anaehoomalu Beach at a Glance

Anaehoomalu Beach, located on the Big Island’s west shore near the Outrigger Waikoloa Beach Resort, is one of the prettiest beaches in this area, featuring a long white-sand beach, several tide pools, fish ponds and a large grove of coconut palms. You’ll also find it better equipped than its neighbors, with restrooms, showers and parking spaces conveniently located along the shore.

Like many of the Big Island beaches, Anaehoomalu is protected by an offshore reef. The ocean bottom drops off gently here and the beach is popular for a variety of ocean sports, including swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, scuba diving, surfing and net-fishing. Dangerous ocean conditions may occur during storms or high surf.

A little way inland, you will find a circle of palm trees around two ancient Hawaiian fishponds, named Kuualii and Kahapapa. The ponds were once used by Hawaiian royalty to raise mullet and other small fish. The ponds were maintained by the fishermen who lived in this area and the fish that were raised here were only given to royal people. That’s probably why this beach was named Anaehoomalu, which means “restricted mullet” in the Hawaiian language.

The area is surrounded by educational plaques offering interesting tidbits of Hawaiian history. Now a favorite among photographers, the pond boasts interesting colors and looks simply spectacular during sunset.

If you’d like to explore a bit, you can hike the nearby King’s Trail, which leads through a 2-acre (8,094 sq. m) historical park featuring rock shelters, petroglyphs (rock carvings) and other ancient artifacts. Another trail will take you to the Waikoloa Marriott, Hilton Waikoloa and other luxury hotels.

Safety Tip
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 on the beach). Please click here to read more about ocean safety in Hawaii.
