Easter Island: Anakena Beach & Ahu Nau Nau

For a Polynesian island, Easter Island has very few good beaches. In fact, only one has sand – Anakena. Looking truly beautiful with a wide crescent of yellow sand and many palm trees along the shore it is picture-perfect. There are also two ahu sites here – one with a single moai and another with seven. The latter, Ahu Nao-Nao, is one of the most photographed of the moai site, the statues here have the stone tops on their heads.
