Anahola Kauai Hawaii
Anahola lies in the northeast corner of Kauai. Kauai itself consists of various small communities, but Anahola is about as little as they come. The town's layout is notably more spacious than the other populated cities on the island, offering more chances to take in the view of the sun glimmering over the Pacific Ocean.
Anahola Bay sits adjacent to the town and is the main focal point of attention. The Anahola River is nearly perpendicular to the Bay, leaving a lovely little lagoon across the beach. Anahola Bay is a stunning half-mile wide crescent white sand beach with the Kalalea Mountains serving as a gorgeous backdrop. The bay is a local and tourist favorite for weekend picnics and tailgate barbecues. It is also one of the most protected beaches on the east side of the island. Not only is it watched by lifeguards, but there's also an outlying protective reef just off the shallow end of the water. This surf break allows for calmer waters, making Anahola Bay an ideal place to spend the day.

▶︎ Ranger Review: Anahola Beach Campground and Ledlenser MH10 Headlamp
Campground Review: Anahola Beach
I stayed at Anahola Beach for my last night while in Kauai and I wish I could have stayed longer camping. First thing, this campground is part of a public beach which requires a permit for camping. The permits are really easy to get and are pretty cheap. Just go to the camping office for parks in Lihue and you can get it either in advance or day of. I do believe all camping on public land requires a permit. Anyway, the beach is great and has open camping. There are spots completely open as well as a section under trees. So pick a flat spot and you are good to go! Access to the beach is easy and relatively convenient (you are a 5-10 minute drive to a small store in case you forgot food or other basics) and does have some unpaved road but any car can handle it. The beach also has basic facilities (garbage bins, picnic tables, flushing toilets, rinse showers, water access) which make this an easy and convenient place to stay especially if you had to fly with your camping equipment.
My time at the campsite was great. People were very friendly and you are directly on the beach so sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. The only negatives I experienced were the sand flies/mite at dusk and dawn when we were out on the sand. They bit up our feet and ankles similar to mosquitoes. The good thing was they were completely gone when the sun was completely up or down but bug spray may have been helpful. The only other thing was one rooster was very noisy at sunrise. Kauai has a lot of wild chickens and they can be pretty loud and one really wanted to make his presence known. But that is what makes Kauai so special. Overall, it was a great end to a vacation and it was my first time really camping on the beach.

KUMU CAMP ANAHOLA BEACH KAUAI HAWAII
The Kumu Camp is a social enterprise of the Anahola Hawaiian Homestead Association (AHHA) and its tax exempt nonprofit arm, the Homestead Community Development Corporation (HCDC). AHHA was founded in 1982, and is one of more than 30 homestead associations controlled by native Hawaiians eligible for lands set aside by the U.S. Congress in 1920 to be held in trust, similar to Indian reservations, for native Hawaiian homesteading (residential, farming or ranching), mercantile and commerce, and public purpose uses.

Transcript:
Swaying coconut palms trace the coastline on the eastern shore of Kaua’i. Known as the “Coconut Coast,” the east side is centrally located on the island with a thriving town center, numerous natural attractions, beaches, hiking, and a popular bike path. The east side has the largest population density on Kaua’i, and is equally distant to both sides of the island, making it a great base to explore a full day on either the west or north shores.
“‘The Royal Coconut Coast’ was originally reserved for the ali‘i, or royalty, of the Hawaiian Kingdom.”
In the distance, you’ll see the mythical Nounou Mountain range, famously known as the “Sleeping Giant,” and pass Lydgate State Park, a favorite family beach spot. Lydgate’s two protected swimming lagoons and lifeguards make it a safe location for beginners.
Featuring renowned waterfalls, scenic overlooks, sacred sites and adventurous hikes, Wailuā is a noteworthy east side village where many local residents call home. These green vistas were a dominant religious and governmental center on the island, now displaying many cultural landmarks and plenty of outdoor activities.
Adjacent to the road is the Wailuā River, a twenty mile long waterway that flows from one of the wettest spots on earth, Mt. Wai′ale′ale. With an average of 450 inches of rainfall per year, this mountain is one of the highest peaks on the island.
“The lush backdrop of the Fern Grotto is located 2 miles upstream the Wailuā River, which is the only navigable river in Hawai’i.” Commonly accessed via river cruise or kayak, this verdant grotto is a unique geological formation, displaying a fern canopy that drapes over volcanic rock.
The park also contains also contains the Wailuā Complex of Heiaus, a cluster of sacred sites that date back to prehistoric Hawai’i.
Driving uphill a scenic overlook at ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls reveals a stunning view of this 151 foot high, 40 feet wide waterfall. “ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls is one of the island’s most popular and conveniently-located waterfalls.”
Historic old Kapa‘a town is a vibrant destination. With diverse shops and cafes radiating from the historic town core. Bustling with shops and restaurants, old Kapa‘a town is a popular hub among both tourists and locals. Park anywhere and you are just steps from the excitement that over 100 locally businesses can offer.
The streets come alive every first Saturday of the month when old Kapa‘a town businesses stay open late. Crafters, vendors, and local musicians join in on the festivities for a family-friendly good time. The first saturday event is a collaboration between local business, and the Kapa‘a Business Association also known for hosting the acclaimed coconut festival the first weekend of every October in the Kapa‘a Beach Park.
The Kauai Products Fair is located in Northern Kapa’a. Local vendors, artists, and craftsmen display their unique, hand-made products. Here you can find a special keepsake to take home and remember Kauai forever. For something unique visit the Kauai Products Fair for their weekly festival. It happens every Friday from 5 to 9 and features live music, entertainment, and art.
After enjoying the town center, Kealia Beach is a spectacular seaside location
“Named Ka Ala Hele Makalae, or The Path Along the Coast, this paved trail offers a view of Kaua‘i’s east-side coastline.” A perfect complement to the Kapa‘a town area, this well-used multi-use pathway not only provides miles of stunning ocean views, but also meanders through the center of town.
Heading northbound, you’ll pass the small village of Anahola, a designated Hawaiian Homeland area where many of native ancestry call home.
In the distance, Kalehea Mountain pierces the sky with its sharp, pointed peak. This mountain is popularly known as King Kong’s Profile.
