In case you missed my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stops on the island, click here, here, here, here, here, and here. Our final stop on the island was not a scheduled one. Alicia, if you remember, made me return to my room before starting the tour in order for me to get my bikini and it was specifically for this reason; she wanted to take me to her favorite beach once we were done visiting everything. Most people when they think about Easter Island only picture the Moai in their mind and forget that the island is located in the South Pacific, aka haven for exotic beaches. The beach she took me to was named Anakena and there was no second guessing that we were in the land of Polynesia.
Not only did the beach not dissapoint in its splendor, it also had more Moai!
As we watched the sun set, we bonded over our stories of romantic liaisons around the world (Alicia had a soft spot for foreign men as well and had even fallen in love with a man that, believe it or not, lived in the same city as me — small world, huh?).
Not wanting our enlightening conversation to end, we made plans to spend the rest of the evening together. As Alicia drove me back to my hotel in order for me to get ready, she told me that I was about to experience a night I would never, ever forget. . .
Great captures of Anakena beach!
Andi you are tempting me too much! I’m going to have to see if I can find a cheap last minute I-still-in-the-baggage-bin seat so that I can go there.
The colors are so amazingly vibrant!
Absolutely stunning photos, Andi. I particularly live the statues in silhouette.
Love the fact that you could be on the beach and have those “guys” looking over you!
Your pics are completely gorgeous, and I’m even more anxious than ever to get there now! Ah, one of these days…
It’s on my wish list, Andi! I love your photos. Thank you for transporting me there!

Wow, Easter Island looks absolutely breathtaking. Nice work on making it there. It is one of the fe places I’d like to visit on this planet that I haven’t already
That is a really great looking beach and it’s not crowded at all! I love the pictures you took, they’re all great, I especially loved the last picture. It’s so dramatic.
I love your blog!!!
Beautiful photos! Easter Island looks amazing. I’d love to go there someday. And I’m waiting to hear about your night out! 😉
I checked out your previous posts about Easter Island – fantastic photos! Looks like an incredible mixture of natural beauty and history! The waves also look amazing!
Looks like you had perfect weather too!
That’s so beautiful! I’m in love with your Moai silhouetts. I’m a sucker for old stones 🙂
Ditto what Laura said. The Moai are so magestic and otherworldly.
This place is high on my bucket list… Can’t wait to get there! Did you know you can go scuba diving there and see several sunken moai? As soon as I read about that I was even more anxious to go! Amazing posts.
Looks so wonderful and peaceful. No tourist rush, definitely my type of vacation. I definitely need a good time like this=)
Oh, Andi, you tease. 😉 Can’t wait to read more. Everything looks so beautiful there, and so do you.
How amazing!!!!!!!!!

That last photo is particularly awesome. You’re right about people forgetting that Easter Island is in the South Pacific. For me, I think it’s because it’s technically part of Chile, but the culture/scenery is wildly different from mainland Chile!
I can’t get enough of these Moai photos. The silhouette one is my favorite…
