Lover’s Bay is an iconic piece of #LordHoweIsland’s land in the wedding community.

The two Norfolk pines were originally used as channel markers for boats to navigate into the lagoon. Today, they still stand tall adding a historic element to this beautiful spot - dedicated to loved ones for generations 🌲🌲

We look forward to more romantic stories from this little haven! 💐💖
