Anini Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

We were excited to go to Anini Beach as we heard it had really good snorkeling.

As we pulled up we found that there was plenty of free parking and a nice grassy area for picnics. They also had public bathrooms.

As we walked out to the beach, we could see that a coral reef was out in the distance that acted as a barrier were the waves would crash, but it left the bay relatively calm.

We decided to do some snorkeling and saw a sea turtle and some fish. The day we went the visibility wasn't great, but we still had a great time.

As we explored up the beach, we found an area that was designated for camping. We thought that would be a cool experience to camp right on the beach. Maybe next time.

This is what the parking area looked like:

You can see the public bathrooms, pavilions with picnic tables and a large grassy area.

As we walked out onto the beach, you can see how calm the water is.

We decided to snorkel out to the buoy. We got to see a sea turtle and some fish. The visibility wasn't great, but it was still fun!

After we finished snorkeling, we decided to explore the rest of the beach.

We found a part of the beach that was designated for camping.

At the very end of the beach there were some private residences and we saw a family go kayaking.

Overall, we loved this beach and can't wait to go back.
