Hanalei Pier in Hanalei, Hawaii (Kauai) is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back universal access walk that leads down the historic Hanalei Pier, featuring stunning views of Hanalei Bay and the surrounding mountain ranges.

This is not a hike, but rather a nice scenic walk that features some of the best views on Kauai. Views from the pier include docked boats in Hanalei Bay, a 2,800-foot waterfall cascading down a mountain in the distance, and often paddleboarders cruising around in the calm waters of the bay.

Parking
Visitors will find parking at the Black Pot Beach Park parking lot at the coordinates provided. There are two main lots which both hold a couple dozen vehicles each; however, parking fills up quickly, so show up early to claim a spot.

Respecting the Land
Hawaiian land is considered sacred to native Hawaiians and many locals, so please stay on-trail, take nothing but photos, and leave nothing but footprints. Respect the locals - don't stay for long and have a backup hike planned in case the parking lot is full.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
