Description
According to Hawaiian legend, a lovely girl named Pehe once lived with her husband in the sea caves on Lana`i's coast. One day a freak storm occurred while the man was away; by the time he returned, his wife had drowned. He scaled a rock islet off the shore, buried his wife on it, and then committed suicide by jumping off it into the angry waters below. The rock is now known as Pu'upehe, after the maiden, or Sweetheart Rock. It can be viewed from a plateau at the southwestern point of Manele Bay. Boats going in or out of Manele Harbor also get a good view of it.
