Anini Beach
A.K.A. Wanini • Photo by Brad Dawber
A tranquil stretch of beach protected by Hawaii's largest coral reef. Windsurfers enjoy these lake like waters and common winds. This beach used to be called Wanini. The , "W," fell off the name sign, rather than fixing the sign the name has permanently changed. Public parking, bathrooms and showers.
Things To Do
- Swimming
- Fishing
- Paddling
- Beach walks
- Family days
Cool Because
The reef is huge and offers protection even in large surf.
Hazards
Strong currents. Dangerous waves breaking on outer reefs. Sharp coral and slippery rocks.
Topography
Mostly sandy shoreline with rock shelves and points. Mostly reef underwater with sand channels.
Not Good For
The narrow beach and shallow water are great for the little kids, but make it hard for really active beach goers.

Beautiful beach (there is no area in Kauai that is not beautiful!) but even more so, the houses in the area are a treat to see!

Anini is great if you are looking for ease of access, facilities and calm water. There is plenty parking and grassy areas to picnic, play games or take a nap. The snorkeling is not great, but the large fringing reef protects the shorline when other north shore areas are slammed by big waves. I like Anini.

Anini Beach was mainly named Wanini but during Hurricane Iniki, in September 11, 1992, the W on the sign got cut off and so now, people have been calling it Anini ever since now. Just to let you tourists know

Thank you for the info Marie. We do mention the "W" falling off in the beach description. However, this did not happen in 1992 during Hurricane Iniki. It was way before that.
Nov 11, 2006 11:40AM
YES...You are right. We used to camp there in the 70's and it was already called "Anini". My dad still called it Wanini though...

I will tell you my Anini secret. On those occasions when we arrive on the island before our accomodations are ready, we drive to Anini to pass the time. First find bread, wine, and cheese at the Kilauea Farmer's Market next to Kong Lung Center on the road to Kilauea. Then proceed to Anini. Drive past the beach park, around the big curve to the left and watch for a parking turn out on the left. Park there and find a comfortable place among the rocks under great shade. You can hang your mainland clothes on the tree and slip into the island way.
Mar 05, 2007 2:30PM
I remember camping here several times in the 70's and it was Anini then. Whatever it is called - it is beautiful!
Mar 31, 2007 10:54AM
The fish tacos at the stand at the beginning of the parking area are phenomenal. I would go well out of my way to get one there.
May 29, 2007 1:36PM
I went diving at Anini the other day. The person above who said the diving is no good must have gone to the wrong place...it was beautiful like the underwater gardens of Venus...loaded with fish of every imaginable color and stripe
Jun 17, 2007 1:04PM
SO glad to see KJs post on the Fish Taco Stand...I'm coming back in a couple weeks & am SO glad to hear that it's STILL there...BEST fish tacos I've had ANYwhere & I too will surely travel out of my way for this one!
Jun 20, 2007 11:08AM
What other beaches besides Anini are good for windsurfing?
Jun 20, 2007 10:20PM
Geoff - Kauai is not as consistent as Maui in terms of wind (I used to be an avid windsurfer). It can be good but one has to really know the weather and the reefs are unforgiving - nothing like the Kanaha wind machine on Maui.
Jul 15, 2007 10:46AM
Are there any fishing restrictions at anini?
Jul 16, 2007 8:46AM
My wife and I have spent many days at Anini. It is one of our faves on Kauai but we have a bias toward the north shore. It is awesome. I believe it has been Anini since WW2 or shortly thereafter.

I remember Anini beach as having calm waters-it's where I learned to snorkel in 1993. I'm planning to go back in 2008. Does anyone know if it is still as calm and beautiful as I remember it. Also, I plan to rent a home for my vacation on Anini beach. Are they as beautiful and easy access on the beach as they look on the internet? Thanks.
Kauai Explorer Staff
Aug 05, 2007 8:12PM
Anini has a large reef that extends between 100M and 400M offshore - therefore providing protection to nearshore waters on most days (not always). Anini does have some OK snorkeling and lots of vacation rentals on or near the beach.
Aug 06, 2007 6:55AM
We visited Anini in mid July this year and it was awesome! I had also read that snorkeling was not good but we saw many beautiful fish there and we didn't explore very far from the park. I think staying in a beachfront house there would be one of the best vacations a person could have.
Aug 21, 2007 8:37AM
i have been trying to figure out how to book a campsite on anini beach for a few days but there is surprisingly little information on the web. does anyone know the way to do this - or is it even necessary? thanks so much!!!
Kauai Explorer Staff
Aug 21, 2007 6:46PM
Aninni is a county park and there may be info on the kauai.gov website.
Sep 02, 2007 3:47PM
I camped at Anini for two weeks in June 07, except on Tuesday's when it is closed. Anini is, in my opinion, the best out of all the county camping beaches. The water was always as smooth as glass due to the offshore reef. Snorkeling was not great, at least when I was there. Much better at Tunnels. There is a large grass area to pitch your tent, even ocean front sites close to the water. It can be crowded as there were 50 vehicles and probably three times as many people during the second week.
Sep 05, 2007 6:06PM
Hello. Could you please tell me a bit about "Queens Bath" in Princeville and under what circumstances or time of year is it safe to go see? I have heard a lot about it from friends who have enjoyed visiting it, but have also heard warnings on certain web sites. Thanks.
Kauai Explorer Staff
Sep 05, 2007 8:49PM
"Queens Bath" is a large natural pool on a rocky shoreline area off Princeville. The conditions vary greatly at this location and a number of un-aware swimmers have been hurt and killed at Queens Bath. Since we do not monitor or report on this location I will defer comment or advice on what is "safe." Experienced Hawaiian water men / women know always to assess conditions before going in (or near) the ocean.
Sep 11, 2007 6:50AM
My Wife and I were on Kauai from Aug 18-Sept 1 on our honeymoon. We are form Calgary Canada, so we don\'t get to go in the ocean very often. I went Snorkeling at Aninni. I found the snorkeling very good, and the water was very warm..... Kauai has grabbed our hearts and the plan is to move to Hawaii in the next year.....
Sep 29, 2007 9:43AM
We were snorkeling this beach during the Week of September 14th - 21st 2007. It was beautiful and a truly wonderful location to snorkel. The water was as warm as a bathtub. Kauai is the best island of all if you like nature and don't want to be in the crowds of the other islands. Debra Rivera, Justin Harmon and Sheri Harmon
Oct 08, 2007 10:26AM
Wonderful site - thank you!
My wife, two year old son, and I are planning a trip to Kauai in January. We love the North Shore, but are nervous about bringing our young son to the beach during heavy surf season. Seems like Anini might be the best bet - does that seem right? Any advice much appreciated!
Kauai Explorer Staff
Oct 08, 2007 10:27AM
Anini can be a good spot but be careful anywhere during times of high surf. Just because it is high surf season does not mean that the surf is giant every day. Have fun.
Oct 28, 2007 4:55PM
I am planning on vacationing at Anini (Wanini)Beach in 2008 or 2009. Is there a time of year best for fishing?
Kauai Explorer Staff
Oct 29, 2007 8:38AM
Hey Brent - in my experience April through July are the best months for fishing. Generally calmer seas and the Papio are biting. Fishing in Hawaii can be tough - the bite is either on or off. If you don't get a strike or follow after trying a few good looking areas, then you should probably wait for a different tide or moon phase. Also keep moving and watch out for dangerous surf. W
Dec 11, 2007 8:36AM
I appreciate the discussion here. My wife and I are looking for a place to camp in Kauai on Christams Eve. Are there any things to consider regarding the holiday? should we avoid the North Shore due to potential winter rain? In summary...what would be suggestions for the one overnight. Qualities we are looking for are beauty, solitude, likely good weather. We are adventurous and fit. Thanks to all suggestions.
Niels (former Maui resident 1991-1992).
Any beach volleyball on the island?
Kauai Explorer Staff
Dec 11, 2007 7:35PM
Aloha Niels - early Dec. has been extremely quiet but expect more people around the Holiday break. We had big rains and wind last week; the weather is epic now. As a former Maui resident you know that Winter is time for a mix of frontal passages and nice weather. Spring and Summer offer a more stable Trade wind pattern with associated windward showers.
For camping the Y-camp is very quiet but booked on at peak periods (Christmas and all Summer). Sloggett in Kokee is amazing if you like the mountains. Vollyball in Hanalei and Kalapaki.

I have been to Hawaii on a cruise. Thinking about going to Kauai only this time. Found a budget hotel "Kauai Sands Hotel" right on the Waipouli beach, and learned you CAN'T go swimming there. How far are the calm, snorkeling type of beaches from that area (by car)? We really like the hotel+flight price there.If we were to choose a hotel on the north shore, how far from the airport is that?
Thank you guys!
Kauai Explorer Staff
Jan 10, 2008 7:41AM
Hi Mercedes - the area in front of Kauai Sands has a number of reef channels and strong currents. In general, East-facing beaches have choppy, onshore winds and are not that great for snorkeling (dependes on what time of year). Lydgate is about 2 miles from that hotel but you will experience much better snorkeling if you go North (calmer in summer) or South (calmer in winter). Both are about 1 hour drive from Kauai Sands. Check our daily ocean report and we'll let you know where it's calmest on that day. W
Jan 10, 2008 2:08PM
I've been to Anini many time for the day while renting a condo at nearby Princeville. Met a family from Canada spending the Christmas Holidays on the beach and was totally envious.
Will be coming to Kauai in Feb.'08 during Presidents week and want to spend the first few night camping at Anini.
Is it required to have camping permits in advance or just advisable? Will it fill up during Presidents week?
Kauai Explorer Staff
Jan 10, 2008 8:29PM
Hi Steve - you do need permits for Anini (issued by the County).
Jan 13, 2008 9:54AM
This saturday I will arrive on the North Shore of Kauai for a 10-day respite. I really want to be able to snorkel, but am not the strongest swimmer and am a little apprehensive of large waves and strong currents. I have read that Anini is often sheltered from the high surf, but will this area be completely overrun with people if we want to camp and snorkel for a few days?
Kauai Explorer Staff
Jan 13, 2008 11:59AM
Annie H - Anini has a large protecting reef but when the surf is massive (like today) all of that water washing in has to go out somewhere. Anini is generally calm, but there are a few spots that have proven to be fatal. Can't tell you if it will be crowded or not. W
Jan 14, 2008 4:23PM
My husband and I are planning an anniversary back to Kauai after 20 years. I\'m thinking of the north shore, Anini Beach, private lodging. Our anniversary is in October, but wondering if there is a better time of year to come back to the honeymoon isle. Is there any shelling or treasure hunting? Thanks
Kauai Explorer Staff
Jan 15, 2008 6:25AM
Lorie - October is one of my favorite months. Quieter than other times of year. Try shelling in Haena.
Jan 18, 2008 1:41PM
Wonderful site!!
I'm on Oahu but a friend is coming for vacation during the Presidents Day holiday. Looking to do some camping. We have some options for Oahu, but was wondering if the Monday holiday thru a few days after might be less crowded than before or during. Not looking any heavy duty ocean activities...just a quiet spot or two to kick back. Any recommendations?
Aloha!
Kauai Explorer Staff
Jan 21, 2008 7:48PM
Aloha Caron. Glad you're enjoying the site. As for camping, it's hard to say whether Kauai's camping areas will be crowded for the holiday or not. For less popular campgrounds you may want to check out the North Shore's Anahola Beach Park, or the West Side's Salt Pond Park. Anini Beach on the North Shore is another oceanfront camp spot that is beautiful but it varies - sometimes busy, sometimes pretty empty.
Remember to get permits. Enjoy your stay on Kauai!
Jan 27, 2008 3:16PM
I plan to get married in Kauai 11/1/08. We are still trying to choose between Hanalei and Anini. Also, we are not sure what time of day would be best and if there is major traffic that time of year. Any suggestions?
Kauai Explorer Staff
Jan 27, 2008 5:00PM
Hi Kathryn - both Hanalei and Anini are nice spots although most would agree that Hanalei takes first place. November is a relatively quiet time of year and afternoons have the best lighting. I suggest you do some scouting or hire a wedding coordinator to find a spot that does not have much traffic. If you are speaking in terms of road traffic, Kauai has some problems in that department.

Is there good wind for advanced windsurfers in March? Flat Water? lessons - pro gear? Anywhere to stay and windsurf at same place?
Thanks so much!

Feb 04, 2008 6:34PM
Hi Nichola - the wind on Kauai is NOT as strong / consistent as Maui but there is good windsurfing to be found on the North and South shores. Wave sailing and tricky conditions. Bring your own gear because there are no shops. If you want to stay near the sailing zone try to find a vacation rental in Haena. W

Feb 15, 2008 7:41PM
I'm planning on moving to Anini to open a bed and breakfast. How much would you pay per night knowing you are literally feet from the beach front? What would be some amenities that you would desire as a visitor?
Kauai Explorer Staff
Feb 15, 2008 9:19PM
Aloha Sarah. I'd open this question up to users of the forum, as many will be the very folks you would be catering to. I'd also suggest you search online for other B&Bs in the Anini beach area to see what their rates are. J
Feb 18, 2008 2:34PM
Hello - I put together a last minute trip and would like to camp Anini...problem is I would be arriving on Sun 2/24/2008 and do not have time to get the permit in the mail. I have read that you can pay the Ranger if they show up...is there a way you can pay at Anini?
Thanks!
Matt
Kauai Explorer Staff
Feb 18, 2008 10:11PM
Aloha Matt. I've never tried to camp at Anini without a permit. It's my understanding that the ranger goes through the campground very early in the morning and rouses anyone that does not have the permit hanging on the outside of their tent. Keep in mind, when there is no permit present, the ranger will be perceiving you as an "illegal camper". This attitude at first light, I've heard, is not a very pleasant way to start the day. However, I've heard, at this point, you can pay the permit fee and continue to stay. Your best bet is to contact the County to get the official word. Their number is: (808) 241-4463, open 8:15 - 4pm HST Mon - Fri. Have a great trip. J
Feb 19, 2008 5:44PM
I am staying in a home that I rented right here on Anini Beach. I am at the end of the road. Beautiful but crowded. Lots of cars drive down here just to turn around. Lots of loud music and loud cars 24 hours a day. We have been woken up by loud music at 2:00 am. The cars drive fast on the road and the locals dont seem very friendly. Beautiful, good swimming but would not return to spend $1K per day.
Feb 21, 2008 7:49PM
Hello - my soon-to-be husband and I will be spending two weeks on Kauai for our honeymoon at the beginning of June. We will be staying for part of the trip on Anini beach. We would like to fish our dinner at least some of the evenings. Is Anini a good place to fish? What are other good places to fish? Also, can you recommend good Northshore spots other than Anini for swimming? Thank you.
Kauai Explorer Staff
Feb 21, 2008 9:09PM
Aloha Anne. Most beaches on the North shore are calm with fairly small surf in the summer months. Of course, conditions vary so check the Ocean Report and ask the lifeguards. Hanalei Bay is protected and often small this time of year. As for fishing, much of the edible fish are best found in deeper depths, requiring a boat. It's my understanding that often chartered fishing tours keep the fish you catch, though. Anyone else out there have fishing recommendations? Have a great honeymoon! J
Mar 05, 2008 2:58AM
I am coming to the area in just over a week, and want to do some fishing from shore or from a kayak. Where can I learn more about bait and fish to catch/eat? Can't wait!
Jeff
Kauai Explorer Staff
Mar 05, 2008 8:26PM
Aloha Jeff. You'd have to tune in with some local fishermen to get the scoop on fishing spots from shore. You could possible check in with one of the variety stores on island that sell bait and speak to the store owner, too.
Most visitors experience fishing on chartered boats that go further out at sea. You'd need to speak with them about the protocol for getting to eat what you catch. Do a search online to find some boat companies.
Enjoy your stay. The weather has been amazing this week! J
Mar 08, 2008 9:44PM
I will be in Kaua'i in mid April and am wondering what the weather is typically like that time of year. Also, does this tend to be a busy tourist season?
Mar 09, 2008 6:21AM
With regard to camping at Anini without a permit, you can get away with it the first time (the only excuse the ranger will take is that you arrived on the island too late to obtain permit). He will issue you a permit for five dollars. The next time (if he remembers you, and he just may remember your name) he will not be so accomodating and may fine you $100.00. I camped there on two occasions for about two weeks each. The ranger (his name is Tony) is pretty strict no nonsense type of guy. He does come around in the morning as early as 4:30 am to check permits. He did not seem to work weekends though. Furthermore, he does not allow you to sleep in your car even if you have a permit for the nite. I should know, one nite last December i arrived at night and could not get my tent set up, and was awakened at 5:00 am and was told that if I wanted to sleep in my car, I had to drive all the way up to Haena. The county also has a 60 day limit per year for each camper. There were some people(families) that had moved to Kauai and were using Anini has a \'temporary\' home.

Aloha Mindi. It's tough to say what the typical weather will be, as it changes often. We're currently experiencing weather that feels like summer is coming early, but by April we could be getting a lot of rain. One never knows. Throughout the day, you can experience rain and sun, especially on the North shore. Generally speaking, you'll find more sunny conditions on the South and West side, year round.
As for "busy" it seems Kauai has less and less of a "tourist season" as more time shares mean visitors year-round. There's an obvious influx around Spring break and then when the summer months begin. Of course on this small island, "busy" is relative (though the island sees 1.2 million visitors a year). Enjoy your stay! J
Mar 13, 2008 3:36AM
Queens Bath- next to Polihale, probably the next best \"beach\" on Kauai. Definitely not for the faint at heart! The winding trail is only the tip of the iceberg with this adventure. First time there I found the place right at high tide! Took turns with another tourist playing lifeguard- use the buddy system here it may save your life or someone else. Great snorkeling, surprisingly. Lots of different types of fish here. Entry and exiting are very challenging during high tide and during the winter months. Waves break and drive you back towards a rocky channel that loops around and goes back out to sea. Not a family activity or for average swimmers! Seen many people struggle here..
Kauai Explorer Staff
Mar 13, 2008 7:24PM
Hi Chris. You're probably referring to "Queen's Pond" a location in the Polihale beach area. ("Queen's Bath" is a spot in Princeville, often mentioned in guidebooks, but very dangerous - nearby hotels will not even give directions to this area).
Polihale can be an extremely dangerous swimming spot that has taken lives. You're right in saying that it's not a family water spot. J
Mar 16, 2008 2:13PM
I actually was referring to Queens Bath in the princeville area. I guess I should have been more specific...Neither place is all that safe though....
Apr 03, 2008 11:35PM
I wanted to respond to Sahrah who wants to open a B&B at Anini
I love camping at Anini because less is more. You're at one of the most beautiful setting you could ask for with no TV, internet or crowds by the pool
I found all my neighbors to be relaxed and friendly. Checking into a hotel after 4 nights camping on Anini was a big let down.
Because they close the camping on Tuesday's, it would be great to be in a near by B&B for a night or two. I would require a great matress, an evening cocktail and Kona coffee for breakfast. Others might want some beach stuff like a chair, matt or mask and snorkle.
Apr 07, 2008 10:34AM
I've recently heard some not so good things regarding the Anini Stream in regards to its pollution. Do you have any information on the toxins in and around the stream/ river mouth? It would make sense, as that area of the reef at Anini is pretty dead compared to spots like Tunnels and Ke'e.
Kauai Explorer Staff
Apr 07, 2008 9:08PM
Aloha Andrew. I'd advised speaking to the experts about this. Hanalei Watershed Hui has been working on water sample data and posting reports on specific locations, Anini included. You can visit their info here: http://www.hanaleiwatershedhui.org/science/levels.htm and also get contact info from their website if you have further questions. Aloha. J
Apr 08, 2008 7:49PM
Aloha Kauai Explorers. We (mother and son) are traveling your way soon, hoping to cycle and walk and trip upon that taco truck, inviting waters, and long days. Is there a place to rent a motorcycle with a sidecar? Is there a way to travel on land without taking the main road around the island?
Kauai Explorer Staff
Apr 09, 2008 6:39PM
Aloha Maxali. The main road is the only way to get around the entire island, and even that road ends at the Na Pali Coast. The Kauai Path, a wide 'sidewalk' for bikes and pedestrians, spans Kealia to Lydgate and offers a way to travel off the beaten path (no cars/motorcycles). More info on this Bike Path in our Trails section. Search online for kauai motorcycle rentals and you can find out if any offer the sidecar option. Have a great trip! J
Apr 16, 2008 9:27PM
Does anyone have information about handicap accessibility at beaches on Kauai? I have heard that Poipu and Lydgate have beach wheelchairs to use on a first-come, first-served basis, and am wondering on the likelihood of getting one. Also, Is is feasible to have a person in a wheelchair on the grass near the beach at Anini? My daughter wants to take a windsurfing lesson, and grandma (in the wheelchair) would like to watch. Thanks for the help!
Kauai Explorer Staff
Apr 17, 2008 3:58PM
Aloha. Your best resource for information about handicap accessibility can be found on the visitor bureau's website here:
http://www.kauai-hawaii.com/visitor-faq/index.php?view-note&66
As for Anini beach, if the wheelchair can go on grass, then you'd be ok, as there is a big lawn area near where they give the windsurf lessons. Hope this helps. J
Apr 27, 2008 3:16AM
Hey Kaisia,
from my time at Anini, I would say it's a good place where someone in a wheelchair can park underneath the mango trees with close to the beach where you could watch someone during a windsurf lesson.
May 02, 2008 2:57PM
We will be there in December and we are looking at the possibility of snorkeling here if the waves are too rough at Ke'e or Tunnels. Does any one know the best area to snorkel at at Anini? From what I remember this is quite a wide beach... what side is best? by the park or away from it, by the tree swing? etc.. does it even matter? I've read on one of the other posts about 100-400meters out..I'm just not sure where to go and any comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Aloha. I've seen plenty of fish just out past the boat ramp area. As long as you stay clear of the boats, I think anywhere in that vicinity and further towards the camping area are going to be good for snorkeling. Enjoy. J

As much as I love Anini, I too have wondered what happened to all the coral there. I'd say 90% of it appears to be dead which is probably why there aren't many fish there.
One local told me they felt it's due to the nearby Princeville golf course and the runoff from all ther fertilizer they use or used to use. They said the coral was fine before the golf course arrived.

Aloha Ida. The weather on Kauai is constantly changing and sun showers or clouds can occur year round - so there is no way to know for sure. Generally September is still pretty warm and conditions at the beach are mild. Anini is a tranquil location that will still have daylight, as I'm sure your wedding planner knows. Enjoy your special day. J

Aloha Leslie. You'll see grassy areas with spots to park all along the road at Anini between the boat ramp and camping area. Any spot is along this area is good for enjoying and playing with the snorkel. Enjoy. J
