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.
