I'm not a beach person but being here with the ocean lapping on the sandy shore is just how I pictured an island in the Pacific Ocean to look. It is quite a small area but there are picnic tables to…Full review by Diane R

A beautiful sandy beach with palm trees. There are two ahus - a group of seven with two a little broken and off to the side there is one Moai statue. Anakena was also a ceremonial center. The Moai’s …Full review by neeratraveler

The beach is really good with nice sand, but the attraction is the fact that there is the Ahu Nau Nau. There are gorgeous ocean views and lots of palm trees to make it feel tropical. There are a coup…Full review by RYC88
Buenas alguien me podría decir si en febrero el clima y la temperatura es propicia para bañarse en anakena, como para también aprovechar las actividades de la isla … o también ocasionalmente llueve en este mes… gracias viajeros
My friend and I will be traveling to Easter Island in January and want to know the following about paddle boarding: 1 Is Anakena is the only area with calm waters? 2. Anakena looks like a small body of water. Are you able to paddle out of Anakena and still have calm waters? 3. How much time should we allot to paddle boarding at Anakena? Thank you so much. FYI --We have been paddling for a few years yet would like calm waters.

Anakena is the only real protected beach. I would allow 2-3 hours at least. You may want to stay even longer. As for outside the basin, it just depends on the weather. Note there is no rescue service or lifeguards so if you run into trouble, it’s isolated. There are more people around the Hanga Roa main pier area where there are surfers, boaters, divers. One thing going you can pretty much count on are huge turtles playing in the current close to shore so you may find you prefer hanging with them vs. venturing outside the basin to the deeper waters. So just consider that as soon as you leave the anakena area your out in open seas in the middle of the Pacific. Literally. Wishing you a wonderful time there and just be safe.
I hope someone can help.... If I want to go to the beach for a day, and don't want to rent a car, what are my options for getting there if I have a hotel in Hanga Roa? Can I get a cab to drop me off and arrange for the driver to pick me up later? Seems like walking is out of the question, unless I want to spend my whole day walking....
