Real Estate in Nawiliwili

Nawiliwili is Kauai's main port and is known to accommodate extremely large barge, tanker and cruise ships. This harbor was established in the 1930s and was named for the trees that surround the area. Just beyond the main harbor you will find the small boat harbor, which is where hundreds of people dock their private boats waiting to use them. 

Close to the harbor you will find the Niumalu Beach Park which covers three acres and has a multitude of picnic tables, showers and restrooms. Many people choose to camp here and then sailboard or kayak up the river during the daytime hours. The Huleia river is also a popular kayaking destination and contains a National Wildlife Refuge. 

The final thing of interest is the Alekoko Fishpond, which is located near the wildlife refuge on Hulemalu Road, which is about half a mile inland. The fishpond is home to many species of fish, and people of all ages love to either feed the fish or watch them in their natural environment.
