This island off the coast of Kualoa Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii is more commonly known as Chinaman's Hat because of its conical shape looking like a hat that Chinese men wore in the 1800s to early 1900s.

The island has a legend that Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, had a sister, Hi'iaka, who killed a giant lizard in the sea. According to this legend, Chinaman's Hat is the remnant of that lizards back.
