(Based on the very few posts I guess my idea wasn't so good. But I will at least finish this one.)

On the Big Island of Hawaii is one of the most incredible beaches in the world, but it doesn't get rated because very few people visit. On the extreme North-East end is the Waipi'o Valley. Access requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle (rental companies discourage visits). Down a steep grade (25%) to dirt roads. Bumping through puddles that even during the "dry" time can be 2' deep, with mud. About 1/4 mile to a black sand beach of wonderful consistency. The waterfall, which runs into the valley, causes a river which bisects the beach. Many visitors who come to the beach don't choose to ford the river (lots of rocks on your feet - the secret is to run through the surf instead of trying to walk across the river). Walk to the far end of the beach (long walk - amazing views). There, at the *very* end, is a patch of grass about 10' wide, about 10' above the beach. Under a palm tree is the hand-made memorial. (That is also the beginning of a zig-zag walking trail, which I haven't explored, which takes you up (and then down) into the next valley, which I am told is no longer inhabited.)
