Years ago, Anini Beach Park once boasted a “W” as its first letter, officially reading Wanini. Two theories have circled around for years as to what was the catalyst for the name change. The first theory is that the W in Wanini simply fell off the sign, the county never took action to fix it, and the beach eventually adapted to the name of Anini. Another less told theory of the name change is that an irate local decided he preferred the beach to be called Anini and shot off the W with a shotgun! Regardless of which local legend you choose to believe and whether you refer to it as Wanini or Anini, the beauty of this beach that hosts Hawaii’s largest barrier reef is a treasure on Kauai’s North Shore.
3320 Kalihiwai Road
Perched just up the hill in Anini Vista, is 3320 Kalihiwai Road. This magnificent property, rich in history, extends down into the makai (ocean) facing valley that has been meticulously curated with native Hawaiian flora and with a botanical walking path that reaches all the way to the bottom. Great time and attention has been given to restoring the native landscape and providing healthy habitat for local wildlife. The orchard on the mauka (mountain) side of the property boasts dozens of mature tropical fruit trees including mango, orange, grapefruit, lime, pomelo, banana, papaya, starfruit, lychee, longan, rambutan, breadfruit, mountain apple, mangosteen, soursop, mamey, abiu, the “lemon meringue pie” fruit, and others.
