Puu Pehe (Sweetheart Rock)
20° 44.1′ N · 156° 53.4′ W
A sheer, flat-topped sea stack standing just off the headland between Manele and Hulopoe bays, the most prominent landmark on Lanai's south coast and the subject of Lanai's best-known love story.
Practical
Coast Pilot 10: 110 ft high (tourism sources say about 80 ft), 0.5 mile southwest of Manele Bay, separated from shore by a short low sandspit; rocks, over which the sea usually breaks, extend 300 yards east and south of it: give it a wide berth when entering or leaving Manele. Wikipedia: archaeologist Kenneth Emory found only seabird bones in the summit 'tomb' in 1921. Go Hawaii: a wedge-tailed shearwater (uau kani) nesting site. Do not climb it or the cliffs below the viewpoint.
