Anakena Beach

Easter Island, Chile

Anakena Beach, located on Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in Chile, is the island’s most famous beach, known for its white coral sand, clear turquoise waters, and peaceful setting.

Unlike much of the island’s rugged volcanic coastline, Anakena offers a sheltered bay that is ideal for swimming and relaxation. The beach is also one of the most important cultural and historical sites on the island. According to Rapa Nui tradition, it was the landing place of the first king, Hotu Matu'a, and the birthplace of the island’s civilization.

Nearby stand the restored ceremonial platforms of Ahu Nau Nau and Ahu Ature Huki, featuring some of the island’s best-preserved moai statues. Combining natural beauty with rich archaeological heritage, Anakena Beach is one of the most iconic attractions in Chile. Its palm-lined shores, calm ocean waters, and ancient moai create a unique landscape that captures the spirit of Rapa Nui.
