Miscellanea

* Hanalei was the backdrop of the 1958 musical film South Pacific. Scenes were filmed in the town itself and at a beach to the west.
* Those who explain the Peter Paul & Mary song "Puff, the Magic Dragon" as a marijuana metaphor explain that Puff's homeland "Hanah Lee" is actually the town of Hanalei, which, according to them, is renowned for its marijuana. (This interpretation has been rejected by the song's authors). [http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/puff.htm] The cliffs on the side of the beach are said to look like a dragon.
* The town in Lilo & Stitch is based on Hanalei.Fact|date=December 2007
