Lore
Two Lovers Point, or Puntan Dos Amåntes, is a limestone cliff in Tamuning, Guam, rising about 370 feet above Tumon Bay and the Philippine Sea and standing among Guam’s best-known landmarks. Its fame rests on both its dramatic setting and a legend of lovers who leapt together from the precipice rather than be separated, a story that evolved over time and was recorded in a different form by Louis de Freycinet in 1819. Known during the Spanish colonial period as Cabo de los Amantes, the site later became a major tourist destination. Its cultural symbolism was renewed when a toppled statue of the lovers was restored and returned in 2015.
