Description:
This point, about 175 ft. above the beach, overlooks limestone forest and near-shore reef. The main tourist/hotel district of Guam (Tumon) is nearly out of sight beyond the top of the cliff. Chamorro legend says that two lovers, forbidden to marry, braided their hair together and leaped to their deaths from the cliff, hence the name "Two Lovers' Point." 1995; 143 degr. E Long; 14 degr. N. Lat.
