Blake Pier at Stanley
Blake Pier at Stanley is a waterfront landing pier in the village of Stanley, on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island. The structure extends over the water with a covered walkway supported by wooden columns, where small boats can dock to take on or drop off passengers.
The pier takes its name from Sir Henry Blake, who served as Governor of Hong Kong in the early 20th century. Stanley was one of the first British settlements on the island, and a landing point here has been part of the village since that era.
The pier sits next to Stanley Market, and many visitors walk between the two as part of a single outing along the waterfront. On weekends, the area draws locals who come to sit by the water and watch the boats pass.
The pier is at the end of Stanley's main street and easy to reach on foot from the market area. Going early in the morning or on a weekday keeps the waterfront less crowded and gives a clearer view of the bay.
The current structure is a reconstruction of the original Blake Pier, which once stood in the Central district before being dismantled in the 2000s. It was relocated and rebuilt in Stanley to preserve the colonial-era design, making it one of the few remaining piers of its kind in Hong Kong.
