Tsunami Rock, also known as "Maka Sio'ata", is largely an unknown gem in Tongatapu located in the village of Kala’ua, 9 kms from Liku’alofa Beach Resort. With its mysterious and forbidding name, the giant three-story boulder sits just off a tiny and beautiful beach on the western side of Tongatapu - and no one knows exactly how it got there.
