Fatu Rock

Fatu Rock is a natural landmark and offshore islet of American Samoa. It is located near the entrance of Pago Pago Harbor, close to the village of Fatumafuti. Fatu and nearby Futi are also known as Flowerpot Rock.

Legend has it that a couple, who was named Fatu and Futi, had sailed from Savai'i looking for Tutuila Island. When their canoe sank, the couple were transformed into these tree-topped islets.

The islet measures about 49 by 24 meters, or some 920 square meters in area. It has very steep, near vertical sides, reaching a height of 32 meters. Its top is densely wooded. Fatu-ma-Futi islets are characterized by vegetation typical of rocky strand environments, occasionally interspersed with littoral shrubland, resembling the flora found on nearby Taputapu Island. These islets are situated at the entrance to Pago Pago Harbor, serving as a natural landmark for the harbor's approach.

Fatu-ma-Futi has been officially designated as site number AS-25-055 by the American Samoa Historic Preservation Office (ASHPO), recognizing its cultural and historical significance. Located within the village of Fatu ma Futi, the islets are a popular destination for swimming and recreation. They also serve as a prominent landmark, marking the entrance to Pago Pago Harbor.

Since 2011, car plates on American Samoa have featured an image of Fatu Rock.
