Anakena is the best beach on Rapa Nui, one of only two decent strands of sand [Hanga Roa has a couple of very small rocky beaches] and the other - neighbouring Ovahe - doesn't have any tree shade, a good road leading to it, nor moai overseeing the marine action.
Palms give shade and locals sell drinks and barbied chicken. The beach is hardly used other than weekends and public holidays.
