It was really cool seeing all the fishermen and women lined up along the pier. They were catching quite a few fish. Within about a 1 mile radius there are many shops and restaurants. There are also a lot of people. Hawaii is very strict on usage of masks so that's a good thing with that many people. You couldn't really see the sunset from the pier as it was hidden behind trees but the view is still beautiful. I would recommend going there and enjoying the scenery.

The tiki hut you see in the photo is for hotel resort guests. So, as a tourist or local you cannot go visit it unless you're a guest of the hotel and it is open. It's a clean area, lots of activities to do and cool touristy shops to visit around the pier. Definitely a place to go if you're wanting to see down town. My only advise is to stay away if their is a cruise ship docked out in the ocean. Or you will be overwhelmed with crowds.

It's a pier. We watched dolphins play, feed fish with a bunch of other people, and watched the sunset. The rowers practicing was an added bonus and glad we got to watch. Nice area with a beach next to it with canoe, boards, and kayak rentals.

Its popular for travelers and locals also. Its easy to access from any place in downtown. If you do not want to travel far away for swimming and snorkeling, this place could be one of the best spot for them. There is shower and toilet facility. Parking would be challenging, and you may want to park your car at the public parking lot and walk down to the pier. ABC store is near by the pier and you may want to buy some drink or snack.

Clear water, great spot for sunset watching and just a mile away from restaurants & shops. Perfect for your water adventure hunger. Homeless almost dominate the area though.

Very nice experience for the family. Snorkeling, jumping off 2nd deck of boat, also can water slide off the boat. Free food and beverages. Alcoholic beverages are not covered. Crew explains things in detail. Great experience.

Very peaceful and picturesque. Starting point for ironman contest. Submarine tour and glass bottom boats. Plenty of small shops and restaurants.

We had to tender in from the ship. The water was gorgeous. People were kayaking. Lots of restaurants & souvenir shops nearby if you don't have an excursion planned. They were actually having the Ironman competition near the pier area.

We went from the ship, near by there is a nice coffee shop. A lot of interesting places all around.

Nice pier, we had a dinner cruise meet here. Nice spot for people to fish from as well.

Excellent. So picturesque and a hop skip and a jump from many shop’s restaurants and bars Is here can grab a Taxi or catch a tour to many of the attractions this town of Kona Big island of Hawaii has to offer.

We came here for the manta ray excursion, such a great time and experience. The people in this place are magical, agile and so happy all the time. The kids are energetic and full of life, it’s wonderful seeing them play and enjoy the outdoors.

Great place for an open water swim! Lots of fish right off the beach! Take care of the coral and sea life on the bottom. Do not walk on the rocks! For your sake (urchins) and for the ocean life.

Historical place, not much of a beach unless kayaking is your thing. Food is great at Fish Hopper

Walk to the beach to see the sea turtles is quite rocky with uneven ground, beach is lovely

I recently experienced the Body Glove Historic Dinner Cruise with Captain Rick, and it exceeded all expectations. The historical insights shared by Captain Rick added a fascinating layer to the scenic journey. The dinner was not only delicious but also served with impeccable hospitality. The combination of a stunning sunset, rich history, and Captain Rick's engaging narration made this cruise a memorable and highly recommended experience.

This is where cruise ship tenders pull in, and where just about all water based activities in Kona start. Bathroom available. Next to a place of historical significance in relation to King Kamehameha. Just across the road from an ABC Shop, as well as other ships and restaurants (Quinns is a great place for a meal).

If your fishing from the Pier it probably has some more stars. The water was clear and the views were nice but I didn't find sunset so captivating from the spot. Its not like the piers on the west coast of the US at all. I gave it some low stars because really you could walk around this part of the island and see similar views. So 3 star if your sight seeing and 4-5 star if your fishing.

My family and I went on the Body Glove dinner sunset cruise. It was wonderful!. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Awesome place to chill out, jump into the water and have a great time with friends or even watch the sunset. Just watch out for the sea urgents👀
