Lanai’s Puu Pehe (Sweetheart Rock)

There is a Hawaiian legend about this rock. There was a Lanai warrior who fell in love with a young girl from Maui. Her name was Puu Pehe. He was so enamored by her beauty that he was afraid he would lose her. So he hid her away in a sea cave near the rock where she drowned. The young warrior was so distraught that he climbed to the top of the rock and buried her body at the top, then he leapt to his death.
