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.
