Kona Pier

Kona Pier or Kailua Pier is located at the north end of Kailua-Kona where Palani Road meets Ali'i Drive on the Island of Hawaii in Hawaii. The pier is a popular site for visitors with cruise ships docking here and various watersports available too. Wildlife lovers are also attracted to the pier, especially early in the mornings when dolphins are often seen swimming nearby.

The waters by the pier are clear and pristine making it a perfect location for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking. In fact the swimming section of the Ironman Triathlon World Championship starts from Kailua Pier. Locals and tourists also use the pier as part of their daily jogging routines. Tours and dinners cruises often depart from the pier too. One of these is the Atlantis Adventures submarine tour that provides an opportunity to see coral reef and tropical fish at close hand.

Kailua Pier is conveniently located near to galleries, shops and eateries with restaurants and sidewalk cafes located along Ali'i Drive. Nearby there are other tourist attractions including Hulihe'e Palace, which is a museum showcasing beautiful furniture and important artifacts. Mokuaikaua Church is the oldest Christian Church in Hawaii and is also located on Ali'i Drive.
