Anakena is a stunning beach located in the northern part of Easter Island, near the town of Hanga Roa. Known for its white coral sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, Anakena is one of the few sandy beaches on the island. It holds significant cultural and historical importance, as it is believed to be the landing site of the island's first Polynesian settlers. The area is also home to several moai statues, including the well-preserved Ahu Nau Nau, which adds to its archaeological allure.
