Hanalei Pier

Hanalei Pier is a secluded area on the north shore of Kauai in Hanalei, Hawaii. The pier is beneath green volcanic mountains that tower over the area by 4000 feet. The mountains are filled with shimmering waterfalls where the rivers feeding the falls dump out into Hanalei Bay. There is a two mile crescent shaped beach with golden sand and Pacific Waters to enjoy in the area.

Hanalei Town is a short walk from the beach where restaurants, shops, and grocery stores can be found. It is a 30 minute flight to this area from Honolulu and an hour drive by rental car along a two lane road.

The Pier was built in 1892 the first time. It was designed for Hanalei farmers so that they could get their taro crops to the market. The pier is at the mouth of Hanalei River and Black Pot Beach. The beach is a good place for picnics, fishing, swimming and playing.

Several years earlier in 1824 the Ha' Aheo o Hawaii or Pride of Hawaii royal yacht sank at the corner of the bay near Waioli River's mouth. Some of the ship washed ashore and was found in 1995.
