Pohaku o Ma'alaea
The stones of Ma'alaea are two boulders moved here and saved from a vanished village nearby. When building the breakwater for the new harbor at Ma'alaea, stones from the village were brought down from near the lighthouse but the two at this location were saved due to their significance to the ancient hawaiians of that village.
