About This Spot
Anahola Beach on Kauaʻi's windward side is a tranquil bay protected by a fringing reef that creates a calm inner lagoon and a fun outer break when north- or east-facing swells arrive. Locals enjoy fishing, snorkeling and surfing here, and the white sand and lush backdrop make it picturesque. Watch for currents near the old pier and rocks at either end of the bay.
Local Etiquette
Respect the quiet residential nature of Anahola; keep noise down and pack out all trash.
