A souvenir and gift shop at the west end of Kaikōura, with clothing, kiwiana and New Zealand jade. Beached As Souvenir is at 22 West End. The shop sells pounamu (New Zealand jade) and hand-carved whale bone pendants, as well as jewellery, children's clothing and toys, and souvenirs such as keychains, magnets, shot glasses, tea towels, mugs, beanies, socks, t-shirts, winter clothing, sunglasses and summer hats. It also has soft toys with New Zealand symbols, and permanent sale racks at the door. Outside are chairs with a view of the train bridge. The website lists opening hours of 10am to 5pm, every day.
Reviewers describe a shop with plenty of children's toys and clothing, and say the prices are good compared with other shops in town. One reviewer says the staff member was polite and helpful, and calls it a beautiful shop. Another felt ignored by staff who were talking among themselves, so views are mixed. Of the four nearest gift shops with reviews, three rate higher, and Genevieves, 0.1 km away, rates lower.
