Friday Fotos — a walk along Anini Beach Road

June 12, 2015 By Terry

Along Anini Beach Road there are many spots where beautiful beaches are empty.

While we were on Kauai, we took a day trip to Hanalei. Along the way, we stopped and spent time at Anini Beach. But, before heading down to the beach, we walked Anini Beach Road. There’s very little traffic on Anini Beach Road once you get past the county park. Also, the further you go, the fewer people you’ll see. This is where the paved road turns to dirt, has only houses on one side, beach on the other, and dead ends where there are no facilities. That walk, however, can be addictive to those who get lost in the scenery.

We saw some spectacular homes and some that are now “well-worn.” One was even used in the 1992 comedy Honeymoon in Vegas starring James Caan and Nicholas Cage. The one that sticks out for me, however, is the green garage and shack in the slide show. It, too, reminded me of a movie set and I kept expecting to see someone who looked like South Pacific’s Luther Billis walk around carrying a cold drink and making deals with the locals.

By the way, I’m always on the lookout for good Hawaii photos. If you have some you’d like to share, let me know and we’ll talk about featuring your shots on Friday Fotos!

A walk along Anini Beach Road slide show…

Along Anini Beach Road there are many spots where beautiful beaches are empty.
Just down the road from this spot, a family was picnicking
Here we are at the end of the dirt road. The paved road ended a ways back.
At this point, the beach may not be named, but offshore is the Anini Channel
Anini Beach is around the point just beyond the telephone pole. Very few people bother to come this far on the road.
This looks like it should be in a movie, yah? Where’s Luther Billis?
All it would take is an umbrella drink and a beach chair to make this paradise perfect.
Off in the distance, we see Anini Reef, which helps to keep the snorkeling here at its best.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
