Directly across a quiet street is a level beach access path. In about a 75-second stroll, you can be in the water on beautiful, secluded, sandy and serene Anini Lagoon. This lovely beach is known for its double reef, making it one of the safest beaches in Hawaii for swimming and snorkeling. The soothing sound of the surf from each bedroom is a reminder of its proximity to the home. Anini Beach also features sailboarding, kite-surfing, snorkeling, fishing, charters, sea kayaking -- and a lovely park with fresh water, electricity, and pavilions for picnickers. Bird watching is great here!
