Two Lovers Point
Two Lovers Point Two Lovers' Point, also known as Puntan Dos Amantes, forms the northern tip of Tumon Bay.  It is a must see attraction when visiting the island of Guam.  Legend holds that a pair of star-crossed lovers whose parents would not allow them to marry tied their hair together and jumped to their deaths from this 378-foot cliff.  Visitors have a splendid view from this point of the gleaming white-sand beaches and lush hillside along the Philippine Sea and in central Guam
Admission fee to get to the look out tower of Two Lovers' Point is $3.00 per person.  And now the story of Two Lovers Point: When Spain ruled Guam a proud family lived in Agana, the capital city.  The father was a wealthy Spanish aristocrat and the mother was a Chamorro whose father was a great chief.  They owned land and were held in high esteem by all, Chamorro and Spanish alike.  However, the best reason for their great pride and dignity was their beautiful daughter.  She

   When Spain ruled Guam a proud family lived in Agana, the capital city.  The father was a wealthy Spanish aristocrat and the mother was a Chamorro whose father was a great chief.  They owned land and were held in high esteem by all, Chamorro and Spanish alike.  However, the best reason for their great pride and dignity was their beautiful daughter.  She
was honest, modest; her charm so natural that her beauty impressed everyone around her.
   One day, a powerful, arrogant Spanish captain came to ask the father for his daughter's hand in marriage.  The proud father decided that the captain would be his daughter's husband.  When the girl discovered this, she was so disillusioned that she ran from the house and wandered along the shore where the sea soothed her with its silence and peace.
Two Lovers Point park area While walking along the shore, she met a young, gentle, strongly-built and handsome Chamorro man from a very modest Chamorro family.  He was lost in his own solitary thoughts, his gentle eyes seemed to be studying the lonely stars and seeking some meaning to his life.  They fell in love, sharing their thoughts and desires.  When the father of the girl learned about the two lovers, he became angry and demanded that she marry the powerful Spanish captain.  No one could
keep the father from announcing the date of the marriage to the Spanish captain.  That day, at sundown, she stole out of the house to meet the Chamorro boy who loved her.  She joined him near the high point where they had first met and watched the stars appear.
   When the father discovered this his daughter was gone, he told the captain that his daughter had been kidnapped by the Chamorro boy.  The father, the captain and all the Spanish
Two Lovers Point view
Two Lovers Point cliffline soldiers pursued the lovers up to the high cliff above Tumon Bay.  The horsemen slowed down their pace as they neared the high peak because they saw that the lovers were trapped.  The lovers know there was one thing left for them to do.  The boy shouted a warning for the men to stay back, and the father signaled the men to halt and to watch.  The couple stood at the very edge of the cliff.  The boy and girl took the long strands of their hair and tied these together into a rope-like
knot.  The two acted as if they were absolutely alone.  They looked deeply into each other's eye and kissed one last time.  In that instant, the young couple leaped down the long, deep cliff into the roaring waves below.
   When the father looked down over the edge, all he could see was the floating hair of the two lovers.  Too late, the father understood the meaning of their hair tied together.  Since that day, the Chamorros look to the jutting peak by Tumon Bay

Two Lovers Point view with a kind of reverence.  They are paying respect to the young couple who showed them that real love comes from the entwining of two souls, true to one another in life and in death.  And, forever after, the high point on the cliff has been known as "Two Lovers Point."
