Anahola Location
Anahola is a relatively small area, around 4 square miles, located on the northeast coast of the island of Kaua'i. It's on the east side of the Moloaa Forest Reserve with the Anahola Stream running through part of the area and emptying into Anahola Bay at Anahola Beach Park.
The area is easily accessible as the island's main road, the Kuhio Highway (56), runs through it. You'll find it just north of Kealia and Kapaa and just south of Kilauea (the city, not theKilauea Volcano on the Big Island).
Anahola History
The name Anahola is a Hawaiian word that translates as "deadly winds". Considering it's location on the windward (windy) side of the island, it's easy to understand why this name may have been given.
The island of Kaua'i was one of the last Hawaiian Islands to join the Kingdom of Hawaii during the reign of King Kamehameha. The ruler of Anahola at the time, who was known as Kaumualii, fought off Kamehameha's invasion attempts for years.
Anahola Attractions
Because this is just a small area, it's not full of tourist attractions but that doesn't mean you should just keep on driving. Instead, check out area as well as some of the local beaches such as Papa'a Bay, Anahola Beach Park, North Aliomanu Beach, and South Aliomanu Beach.

Anahola Fun Facts
