Anahola Beach Park Review

Anahola Beach Park
- Address: Turn makai just south of mile marker 14 on Anahola Rd. and drive .7 mi., HI
Fodor's Review:
Anahola is known as the most Hawaiian of all communities on Kauai, so Anahola Beach Park is definitely a locals' hangout, especially for families with small children. A child's first birthday is considered a big bash (including rented tents, picnic tables, and catered luau food) for family and friends in Hawaii, and this is a popular location for the celebration. The shallow and calm water at the beach road's end is tucked behind a curving finger of land and perfect for young ones. As the beach winds closer to the river mouth, there is less protection and a shore break favorable for Boogie boarders if the trades are light or kona winds are present. Children like to frolic in the river, and pole fishermen often set up at the river mouth. On Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 PM Puna Dawson's hula halau meets and welcomes visitors to watch and participate. The sunrise view of Kalalea Mountains with the Anahola River trailing in front of it makes for a good photographic opportunity. During summers, this beach practically turns into a tent community, feeling a bit crowded.
