Anini Beach — Attraction in Kauai

Visited Anini beach a few times whilst we stayed in Princeville in May 2023 with my partner. Anini beach is beautiful we walked the full length of the beach. The sea is super cam which would be great for kids and Snorkeling, there is a chance you may see turtles. The trail down from the Princeville side is quite steep and slippy when wet so sensible foot ware is recommended. The Anini beach campsite side is much easier for access, as you can get there by car so parking is available. There is restrooms, showers and pic nic tables. The beach walk is lovely with nice ocean front properties looking over the beach and people fishing and having barbecue's. I highly recommend visiting Anini beach if your in the north shore area.

Once I got out far enough, there were sea turtles, puffer fish, and all kinds of other sea creatures I don't know the name of. It got windy and rainy a few times, but they all passed pretty quickly. Remember to give the turtles space, I believe state law requires that you stay at least 10 feet...

One of my favorite beaches because of the shallow protected waters created by the massive reef here. You can walk way out into the water and see colorful fish without even needing to swim or snorkel. Just make sure to watch your step and your hands and stay off the reef.

Make sure to be respectful (everywhere, but particularly here where the coral is so abundant) and don't stand on or touch the coral. Remember, it is made up of lots of living organisms and your fingers and feet will kill it. Make sure everyone is wearing reef-safe sunscreen too to protect this very...
