Anini Beach Park at a Glance

Anini Beach is a 3-mile long beach sheltered by one of the longest and widest reefs in Hawaii measuring 1,600 feet at its widest point. The protective reef creates a beautiful and calm blue lagoon, but this makes the beach less of a spot for wave-oriented activities like bodyboarding and surfing.

The flat waves and shallow nearshore ocean bottom make Anini a beach to visit if you have kids. Anini Beach Park is also any snorkeler’s delight - the lagoon is home to numerous humuhumunukunukuapuaa (triggerfish), uhu (parrot fish), kala (unicorn fish), boxer fish, damselfish and other tropical fish. Because of its calm waves and rich underwater life, many consider Anini Beach Park one of the best snorkeling spots on Kauai. On the downside, there are some sharp corals, so take extra care when wading in.

The beach park’s consistent breeze drives locals and visitors alike to this windsurfing mecca. Kite boarding, kite surfing and sail boarding are other wind-based activities that are popular here. Beginners can also learn the tricks here as there are kite surfing and sail boarding schools nearby. On the northwestern part of the beach near the reef, there’s a sudden 60-foot drop diving spot.

If you don’t feel like dipping in the water, you can take a walk on the long stretch of sparkling sand. On weekdays, you might not even find a soul sharing the beach with you. Beachcombing will give you plenty of rewards, too - seashells, cowries and rare Niihau shells. Or you can visit the polo field across the beach park; it can draw quite a crowd during summer Sundays.

To find temporary stays when visiting Anini Beach Park is never a problem as there are plenty of B&Bs and vacation rentals nearby. Rumor has it that Hollywood big names like Steven Spielberg have homes on the road along Anini Beach. So if you see Pierce Brosnan walking down the beach, don’t be surprised. Anini Beach Park is said to be the favorite of Bond 007 and he also has a home nearby.

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.
