Puntan Dos Amantes (Two Lover’s Point) — Attraction in Tamuning Municipality

Background on Two Lovers:

Puntan Dos Amantes, or Two Lovers Point, is without a doubt one of Guam’s most iconic attractions. Every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors are drawn to the towering cliff that is the site of one of Guam’s most well known and romantic legends. The legend of Two Lovers Point is a timeless, bittersweet tale of eternal love. Long ago, during the Spanish colonial era, there lived a family who owned a great deal of land and were highly respected in the community. The father was a wealthy Spanish businessman and the mother was the daughter of a great maga’låhi (Chamorro chief). Their oldest daughter was a beautiful young woman, admired by all for her natural charm. One day, the girl discovered that her father had arranged for her to wed to a powerful Spanish captain. She was so distraught that she ran away and kept running until she found herself on a secluded and peaceful shore. There on the shore she met a young man from a modest Chamorro family. He was a gentle man with a strong build and she fell in love with him under the moonlight. She returned home with a promise to see him again. When the girl’s father learned of the two lovers, he became angry and ordered her to marry the Spanish captain at once. However, that day at sundown, she slipped away and once again met her Chamorro lover. The girl’s father, the Spanish captain, and a group of Spanish soldiers pursued the lovers up to the high cliff above Tumon Bay. The couple found themselves trapped between the edge of the cliff and the approaching soldiers. All the young man could do was warn them to stay back. The father ordered the soldiers to halt. The lovers tied their long black hair together into a single knot. They looked deeply into each other’s eyes and kissed for the final time. Then they leapt over the long, steep cliff into the roaring waters below. Her father and all who remained rushed to the edge and stared in great anguish at...

Our visit to Two Lovers Point was filled with joy and meaning even under the intense afternoon sun, we were all smiles. Being islanders ourselves, there's something comforting and familiar about basking in the warmth of the sun with the ocean breeze on your face. It was a beautiful day, and we were truly happy to be there.

One thing we were especially looking forward to was seeing the iconic sculpture of the two lovers. Unfortunately, due to the recent typhoon that hit Guam, the statue had been toppled. It was a bit of a letdown, but we completely understand and we genuinely hope that by the time we return to the island, the statue will once again stand tall, ready to welcome visitors like us for that long-awaited photo.

Despite that, the place still held a deep sense of reverence and romance. We offered a quiet prayer for those whose names are etched in the stone, remembering their sacrifices during the war. And seeing the locks people had placed along the railings, each with written notes, names, and messages of love was truly heartwarming. It's beautiful to witness these gestures of devotion and hope. I silently prayed that the spirit of the Two Lovers will guard every promise made there, and that love, in all its forms, will endure, kept safe by the very soul of this...

Super cute stop and an interesting legend behind it! The veiwes are beautiful, and allows you to see the whole bay without obstruction.

The site is free to visit, but to get on the observation deck it is $3. Recommend purchasing that ticket to get the beautiful view plus the back of the ticket came with 4 coupons that can be used in other restaurants near by. I'd you use even one of them it would "give" you back your ticket fee money and then some! You can also purchase a love lock for $6 to lock to the fence, super cute. Make sure to bring a pretty sharpie if you would like to do that as they only have black. Also, some clear nail polish or paint to protect your writing as the elements here in Guam are harsh. Most of the locks foam hearts (what you write on) that were more than a couple years old were almost impossible to read.

It can be pretty windy up there so do not wear any short dresses/skirts or loose items such as hats and you might have an issue. I would recommend bring a tripod or selfy stick to get the best pictures.

The only reason we did not feel it should have 5 stars is there were a few plagues missing or damaged preventing us from reading some of the...
