Anibare Bay, Bay in Anibare District, Nauru

Anibare Bay is a large bay on the east coast of Nauru, known for its long stretch of white coral sand. The beach runs for over 2 kilometers between two capes, and the water is often rough with strong rip currents.

The bay was formed by the underwater collapse of the east side of the volcano that underlies Nauru. In 2000, an artificial harbour was built on the bay to support commercial fishing.

The bay is a popular spot for tourists and naturalists, and the beach is considered the best on the island. Local people sometimes come here to enjoy the sand and the view, especially on weekends.

Visitors should be careful when swimming because of frequent heavy surf and rip currents. It is best to check local conditions before entering the water and to stay near the shore if the sea is rough.

The wooded cliffs overlooking the bay, known as the Anibare Bay escarpment, hold the richest remaining native vegetation on the island. This area is also home to the highest density of the endemic Nauru reed warbler.
