Turtle and Shark (Laumei ma Malie in Samoan) is a place with association to an important legend in the culture of Samoa.

It is located on the southern shore of Tutuila, the largest island of American Samoa, a short way south of the village of Vaitogi.

The feature known as Turtle and Shark is a U-shaped cove, set between Vaitogi Beach to the north and a basalt cliff to the south.

The cove is believed by the Samoan populace to be the location of the climactic scene of the Turtle and Shark legend, one of the island's best-known and popular tales.

[2] The earliest documented form of the Turtle and Shark legend was published in 1884 by a missionary:[2] A story is told of a woman and her child, who in a time of great scarcity were neglected by the family.
