Details
This beautiful, tranquil white sand beach has one of the largest coral reefs in Hawai‘i and has ideal safe water conditions for snorkeling, windsurfing, swimming, and paddle boarding. Although there is no lifeguard posted on Anini Beach, it is still considered one of the safer beaches on Kaua‘i’s North Shore due to the huge reef that offers protection even in large surf. Because this beach is a popular place for permitted camping and picnicking, there are plenty of picnic tables, grills, pavilions, and shade trees, as well as creature comforts such as restrooms and showers. Anini Beach is usually less crowded than other North Shore beaches and easy to find.
