Physical features

It is bordered by capes to the north and south, in Ijuw and Meneng districts respectively.

Its Anibare Beach is in excess of two kilometers long. Anibare Bay was formed by the underwater collapse of the east side of the volcano that underlies Nauru. A large arc shaped block slid away from the side of Nauru and rotated out. This block extends to about 1100 m below sea level, with rough bulging landslide deposits down to 2000 m below sea level.[1]

Natural ripcurrent hazards

While Anibare Bay is popular with tourists and naturalists, it can be at times dangerous owing to frequent heavy surf and the presence of rip currents.

Noted industries

Noted industries include the government-owned Menen Hotel, and Anibare Harbour, an artificial commercial fishing area which was created in 2000.

gollark: For some reason this is fine, but if I change `result` to `result.someattribute` it says this:
gollark: ```html<style lang="sass"></style><script> import { onMount } from "svelte" import Loading from "./Loading.svelte" import rpc from "./rpc.js" export let id let promise onMount(() => { promise = rpc("get_page", id) })</script>{#await promise} <Loading />{:then result} <pre>{JSON.stringify(result)}</pre>{:catch error} <em>Error {error}</em>{/await}```
gollark: I am having a very incomprehensible problem.
