Shark's Bay, Lanai
Shark’s Bay is a wonderfully secluded beach characterized by the presence of a unique red lava rock that begins at Shark’s Cove and stretches into the sea. Hike out onto the lava rock for enviable ocean views of Lanai’s stunning coastline.
Be sure to catch the view of Puu Pehe Rock, aka “Sweetheart Rock,” a picturesque 80 foot-tall (24 m) rock jutting out of the sea and located 150 feet (46 m) offshore. Puu Pehe is the subject of a famous Hawaiian legend and is also said to be the site of an ancient bird heiau (temple). This quaint sandy spot also houses Shark’s Cove, a little secluded area set apart from the main beach for those who are interested in quiet reflection or romantic privacy.
Picnicking and sunbathing are the activities of choice out here at Shark’s Bay, although swimming is discouraged due to the strong currents and jagged rocky seafloor. Don’t forget to visit Hulopoe Beach, a charming and romantic beach just to the right of Shark’s Bay. Shark’s Bay has no lifeguard stations or restrooms, however, facilities are accessible next door at Hulopoe Beach.
