The Anini Beach/Kalihiwai area is reminiscent of Tahiti and the South Pacific.   Anini Beach is one of the safest and most protected along the North Shore of the island.  A fringed reef runs the entire length of beach and is Hawaii's longest reef. During the summer months Kalihiwai Bay is usually calm and swimming is good here, for adults and kids. During the winter the waves make this spot popular with surfers. Shady Ironwoods trees make this beach comfortable for picnics and relaxing.
