Aside from golf and pineapples, Lanai's main attraction is its petroglyphs. Petroglyphs are crude drawings or carvings on rock, the kind that many people associate with cavemen. While Lanai's petroglyphs are not quite that ancient, they're still remnants of a mysterious, long-ago time. The Birdman petroglyphs are among the most popular on the island, simply because they're so easy to access from the main road. Located at Kaiolohia Beach (more commonly known as Shipwreck Beach), these ancient rock carvings depict animals, people and other things.
