Hanalei Pier, Historic pier in Hanalei Bay, Kauai, US.
The 340-foot concrete pier extends into Hanalei Bay with a corrugated iron gable roof shed at its terminus, surrounded by mountains of the north shore.
Built before 1892 as a wooden structure, the pier received a concrete deck replacement in 1922 to support the transportation of rice from Hanalei to Honolulu.
The pier stands at Black Pot Beach Park, named after an iron pot used during traditional Hawaiian fishing gatherings called hukilau.
Visitors can access the pier at the northern end of Weke Road, where fishing, swimming, and recreational activities take place throughout the day.
The structure appeared in multiple Hollywood productions, including the 1957 film South Pacific, which contributed to its recognition beyond Hawaii.

Cinema transforms real places into legendary sets, and some filming locations have become as famous as the movies themselves. From Hobbiton in New Zealand, with its round-door houses built for Tolkien adaptations, to the Nabataean temple of Al Khazneh in Jordan, memorable from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, these sites showcase the intersection of fiction and reality. Film enthusiasts can walk beneath the hundred-year-old beech trees of The Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland, a scene from Game of Thrones, seek out Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Station in London, or explore the Tunisian landscapes that brought Tatooine in Star Wars to life. Other destinations include Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, the deserted island of Monuriki in Fiji, where Cast Away was filmed, or the streets of Salzburg that hosted The Sound of Music. These locations offer visitors the chance to relive iconic scenes and understand how filmmakers utilized authentic sites to craft unforgettable cinematic worlds.
