Keka'a Landing Pier at Kaanapali Resort holds a significant historical past as the primary loading spot for shipping processed sugar and receiving supplies for plantation crops. The remains of this pier, now damaged by the sea and storms, once extended far into the ocean, serving as a crucial hub for the transportation of sugar and lumber.
This pier played a vital role in the plantation era, with railroad tracks leading from sugar cane fields to the beach and warehouses near the pier for storage. Logs used for lumber were submerged in salt water for preservation, contributing to termite-free plantation homes. The pier's history is a testament to the island's rich heritage and industrial development.
