Anibare Bay

Anibare Bay is the only bay of Nauru in the east of the island nation. It is one of the locations in Nauru which are visited by tourists.

The beach of the same name is covered with white coral sand. It is located in the Anibare District. The capes, which form the ends of the more than 2 km long beach, are located in Ijuw to the north and by the hotel in the district of Meneng to the south.

On the island Anibare Bay is among the most popular locations at which to surf or to swim. However, it is somewhat risky to do so, because there is frequently heavy surf and an underwater current. The diversity of the underwater flora there is a rarity, because Nauru has not been heavily exploited by tourists.

The Anibare Bay is next to the Buada Lagoon the single biggest attraction of the entire island. This is also the location of the second hotel of the island, the Menen Hotel, is located in direct proximity. In 2000 a sea harbour named Anibare Harbour was established on the bay, which is expected to promote fishing.
