Shark's Bay at a Glance
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.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please
