Anini Beach

This long stretch of sand is protected by an equally long stretch of reef which makes it one of the most protected beaches on the north coast of Kauai. With 2-miles of sand ahead of you, there is plenty of time for beach combing. 'Anini has great swimming, snorkeling , scuba diving and windsurfing during the summer months as well as showers, restrooms and camping with a permit.

It seems the "rich and famous" have also discovered this strip of coastline and have built mansions in the cliffs high above the beach. It's a good idea during any conditions to stay away from the channel through the reef on the far west end of the beach.

To reach 'Anini take Highway 56 past Kilauea. Cross over the Kalihiwai Bridge and then take a right on Kalihiwai Road (the SECOND road with this name). Then take a left on 'Anini Road and follow it to the beach.

Location: Anini Beach is located in the North Kauai
