We heard about Kalapaki Beach which people claim is a nice beach. We've been disappointed in previous Hawaiian ports where claims to have a nice beach turns out to be a small dirty shore area with some sand. Coming from a tropical country which boasts of having the best beaches and having seen the beaches in Kauai's North and Eastern coastlines, I am of course bias, but even compared to our city beaches back home, beaches near the ports of Hawaii are often subpar. Kalapaki Beach on the other hand, is a pretty decent one, given that it's also the beach area outside the busy Kauai Marriott Resort.
Near the harbor are small shopping malls offering specialty products like the Harbor Mall and the Anchor Cove Mall. From here, access is available to the nearby Kalapaki Beach as well.
