Anahola State Park Information
Anahola State Park Information
Anahola State Park beach provides Kauai's safest swimming for small children, with a shallow reef just offshore protecting its coast from high surf. Surfers are actually required to stick to the northern end of the beach so there are no boards near the shallow swimming area, either.
The narrow sandy beach off Anahola Road receives shade from lush trees and is wonderful for picnics, snorkeling, wading, and scuba diving. Lifeguards are on duty on the weekends and holidays and there are restrooms, showers, and picnic table facilities.
Some slippery rocks and sharp coral are scattered in the water though, and you must watch out for occasional strong currents, high surf, and large wave breaks.
The beach park is off of Hwy. 56 - go north from Lihue, take a right on Anahola Road(by mile marker 13) and go about a half a mile down to the park.
