Puu Pehe (Sweetheart Rock) in Lanai, Hawaii is an easy 0.9 mile out-and-back hike to an ocean-side cliff with views of Puu Pehe, or Sweetheart Rock.
The trail starts at the eastern end of Hulopo'e Beach and passes a popular tide pool snorkeling area (follow the staircase down to the tide pool) before reaching the first lookout point of Puu Pehe.
Follow the trail for another quarter mile to reach the top of the cliff with the closest view of Sweetheart Rock.
The trail is rocky, so shoes are best if you plan to hike up to the cliff. Most people hike it in flip-flops to the first lookout point.
While in the area, be sure to check out the Hulopo'e - Huawai Fisherman's Trail at the western end of the beach.
Reaching Lanai: To reach this trail, you'll need to take a boat
from Lahaina on Maui, which costs about $30/person one-way. Hulopo'e
Beach's lack of people makes the trip well worth it.
Respecting the Land
Hawaiian land is considered sacred to native Hawaiians and many locals, so please stay on-trail, take nothing but photos, and leave nothing but footprints. Respect the locals - don't stay for long and have a backup hike planned in case the parking lot is full.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
