鹿回頭風景區坐落在三亞市西南端鹿回頭半島內，共有大小五座山峰，最高海拔181米。公園三面環海，一面毗鄰三亞市區，是登高望海、觀看日出日落與俯瞰三亞市全景的佳處。1994年，鹿回頭風景區被評為國家級風景名勝區。
「鹿回頭」雕塑高15米，長10米，寬5米，是海南島內極負盛名的花崗巖雕塑；在2009年榮獲國家住房和城鄉建設部與文化部聯合頒發的「新中國城市雕塑建設成就獎」。
鹿回頭有一個海南黎族美麗的愛情傳說：古代一位黎族青年獵手從海南島腹地五指山追趕一隻坡鹿直到南海之濱。坡鹿在面對山巔懸崖、茫茫大海，無路可走之時眼含淚花回頭一望，獵人見此情此景頓生惻隱之心，放下弓箭，決定不殺此鹿。而此鹿正是上天派來點化獵人的神鹿，見獵人心存善念，便化身為一位美麗的女子，與獵人共度餘生，過上了男耕女織、刀耕火種的生活。這是人類從蠻荒走向文明的重要一步。因為這個美麗的傳說，三亞市也因此得名「鹿城」。
三亞鹿回頭風景區是三亞市歷史文化的源泉，是三亞市得名「鹿城」的由來，也是三亞市的文化標誌和歷史記憶。景區內流傳千古的「鹿回頭傳說」是我國三大少數民族愛情傳說之一，與雲南的阿詩瑪和廣西的劉三姐相媲美。
鹿是自由的象徵，它化身為人表達了鹿與人的平等，獵人的惻隱之心則是人類博愛的展現。鹿回頭傳說詮釋著幾千年來淳樸而美好的黎族文化和人類共同的價值觀（自由、平等、博愛、包容）。「不忘初心，方得始終」，在現代社會鋼筋水泥的叢林裡，我們為了虛名披星戴月地「趕路」，是否還能記起自己最初的夢想？自己是否已經走了太遠。我們在埋頭苦尋的時候，是否也能讓自己停下來？歇一歇，帶上愛人、親人去感受生活的美好。

He had gone over ninety-nine mountains from WuzhiMountain and crossed ninety-ninerivers to chase an Eld's deer to the shore of the South China Sea. The deer went up to the top of the mountain，wherethere was no way to go just the wide sea beyond the cliff. The deer stopped andlooked back, her eyes, clear and beautiful, sad and emotional. The young hunterput down the bow and arrow that he was going to shoot. Suddenly, there was aflash of light, smoke appeared, and the Eld's deer looked back and became abeautiful Li girl. Eventually, they got married and settled down in this land,and that is why the mountain is called 「Luihuitou」. According to the love fairy tale，thesculpture of 「Luhuitou」 was built as the highest sculpture on theHainan island, and the signature sculpture of Sanya city. Hence, Sanya cityobtained the name 「lucheng」 (the city of deer).
海南島的南端，真有一個山崖叫「鹿回頭」，山崖前方，真叫「天涯海角」，再前方，便是茫茫大海。既然如此，那頭鹿的回頭也就回得非同小可了，中國的帝王面南而坐，中國的民居朝南而築，中國發明的指南針神奇地永遠指向南方……。
這一來，它比海明威《吉力馬札羅》中的豹子更莊嚴了。
